everything isn't everything
Shel Silverstein
I was hoping that perhaps I could roll with you... You cannot roll with me, said the Big O, but perhaps you can roll by yourself.
Shel Silverstein
Although I cannot see your face As you flip these poems awhile, Somewhere from some far-off place I hear you laughing--and I smile.
Shel Silverstein
And he didn't really know where he was going, but he did know he was going somewhere, because you really have to go somewhere, don't you?
Shel Silverstein
Tell me I'm clever, Tell me I'm kind, Tell me I'm talented, Tell me I'm cute, Tell me I'm sensitive, Graceful and wise, Tell me I'm perfect - But tell me the truth.

Listen to the voice that speaks inside
Shel Silverstein

The Voice There is a voice inside of you That whispers all day long, I feel this is right for me, I know that this is wrong. No teacher, preacher, parent, friend Or wise man can decide What's right for you--just listen to The voice that speaks inside.
Shel Silverstein
He wasted his wishes on wishing.
Shel Silverstein

Shel Silverstein
I myself do not believe in explaining anything.
Shel Silverstein
You'd better get your laugh while you're making your point, or you won't be doing it very long.
Shel Silverstein
So I'm all of love that could make it today.
Shel Silverstein
If you're behind the times, they won't notice you. If you're right in tune with them, you're no better than they are, so they won't care much for you. Be just a little ahead of them.
Shel Silverstein
I will not play tug o' war. I'd rather play hug o' war. Where everyone hugs instead of tugs, Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug, Where everyone kisses, and everyone grins, and everyone cuddles, and everyone wins.
Shel Silverstein
My skin is kind of sort of brownish pinkish yellowish white. My eyes are greyish blueish green, but I'm told they look orange in the night. My hair is reddish blondish brown, but its silver when its wet, and all the colors I am inside have not been invented yet.
Shel Silverstein
My beard grows down to my toes, I never wears no clothes, I wraps my hair Around my bare, And down the road I goes.
Shel Silverstein
Never explain what you do. It speaks for itself. You only muddle it by talking about it.
Shel Silverstein
