This isn't exactly a quote, but it's a funny short story.  I was writing my post last night and needed a synonym.  I often look up synonyms on google...reading the same word over and over is boring.  I clicked onto a tab that was already open and then clicked our "home page" button, which is the google search page.  In that millisecond before the screen changed from one site to the other I noticed an ad at the top of the old page, and it was for something about Narnia.  Well, I couldn't not see what that was about!  I hit my "back" button and waited for the ad to run again.  It was a series of banners, one faded into the next one, and what caught my eye was "Return to Narnia".  Could it be?!  Yes!  It was an ad for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader!  I was excited to see that this was coming out, and soon. 

I went back to the google search page and stared at the screen for a few seconds.  I thought to myself,"What was I going to look up?"  I remembered it was a synonym...what was the word?  Then it came back to me..."distraction".
