Here’s one more for Monty’s growing collection of quotes about being short. From singer Dolly Parton, who reportedly stands about five feet tall without her heels and wacky wigs:

“I have a young heart. I have a lot of spunk left in me. And I think short people seem younger.”

So not only do shorter folk live longer and take less toll on the environment, but we look marvelous while doing it. Maybe that tips the scales a tad.

The quote comes from Parade magazine. I’ll add it to the list. If you come across any yourself, please send them along.
