More quotes by Shel Silverstein
We can't hold hands― Someone might see. Won't you please Hold toes with me?
Shel Silverstein
It's amazing the difference A bit of sky can make.
Shel Silverstein
How many slams in an old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends how good you live 'em. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give 'em.
Shel Silverstein
If you are a dreamer come in
Shel Silverstein
Whatever you are is all okay. I don't like you anyway.
Shel Silverstein
If the track is tough and the hill is rough, THINKING you can just ain't enough!
Shel Silverstein
Never explain what you do. It speaks for itself. You only muddle it by talking about it.
Shel Silverstein
I believe that if you don't want to do anything, then sit there and don't do it, but don't expect people to hand you a corn beef sandwich and wash your socks for you and unzip your fly for you.
Shel Silverstein
G'bye, I'm going out to play!
Shel Silverstein
Don't be dependent on anyone else. I want to go everywhere, look at, and listen to everything. You can go crazy with some of the wonderful stuff there is in life.
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
Just Me, Just Me Sweet Marie, she loves just me (She also loves Maurice McGhee). No she don't, she loves just me (She also loves Louise Dupree). No she don't, she loves just me (She also loves the willow tree). No she don't, she loves just me! (Poor, poor fool, why can't you see She can love others and still love thee.)
Shel Silverstein
He wasted his wishes on wishing.
Shel Silverstein
The hens they all cackle, the roosters all beg, But I will not hatch, I will not hatch. For I hear all the talk of pollution and war As the people all shout and the airplane roar, So I'm staying in here where it's safe and it's warm, And I WILL NOT HATCH!
Shel Silverstein
I myself do not believe in explaining anything.
Shel Silverstein
Listen to the voice that speaks inside
Shel Silverstein
Stand-up comics reflect less of a visual humor and more of a commentary.
Shel Silverstein
I've found my missin' piece So grease my knees and fleece my bees I've found my missin' piece!
Shel Silverstein
God says to me with a kind of smile, Hey how would you like to be God awhile And steer the world? . . . . How much do I get? What time is lunch? . . . . Gimme back that wheel, says God. I don't think you're quite ready yet.
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
