Dgrant, Thank you for noticing. That book has so many wonderful quotes.

Oh, Jess, you quoted e.e. "No one, not even the rain, has such small hands."

I marvel at the way that man could put together words. Thank you,Jess,for reminding me.

Ok- I was searching for over 20 minutes on the On topic and Off Topic for the specific thead I was looking for and failed to find it.

Thus, here is my quote/question:
Does anybody know the exact quote? I don't even know if it's a real quote but I guess it doesn't hurt to ask.

I saw it on a license plate and I forget exactly what it said but something like:

"I do it onstage. I'm a thesbian"
