Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Our American professors like their literature clear, cold, pure and very dead.: Sinclair Lewis (1885 - 1951)
Curiosity is the very basis of education and if you tell me that curiosity killed the cat, I say only the cat died nobly.: Arnold Edinborough
If you sincerely desire a _truly_ well-rounded education, you must study the extremists, the obscure and "nutty". You need the balance! Your poor brain is already being impregnated with middle-of-the-road crap, twenty-four hours a day, _no matter what_. Network TV, newspapers, radio, magazines at the supermarket... even if you never watch, read, listen, or leave your house, even if you are deaf and blind, the _telepathic pressure alone_ of the uncountable normals surrounding you will insure that you are automatically well- grounded in consensus reality.: Rev. Ivan Stang - High Weirdness By Mail
And what is a good citizen? Simply one who never says, does or thinks anything that is unusual. Schools are maintained in order to bring this uniformity up to the highest possible point. A school is a hopper into which children are heaved while they are still young and tender; therein they are pressed into certain standard shapes and covered from head to heels with official rubber-stamps.: H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
Public display of mourning is no longer made by people of fashion, although some flashier kinds of widows may insist on sleeping with only black men during the first year after the death.: PJ O'Rourke
Rosencrantz: Do you think death could possibly be a boat? Guildenstern: No, no, no...Death is...not. Death isn't. You take my meaning. Death is the ultimate negative. Not-being. You can't not-be on a boat. Rosencrantz: I've frequently not been on boats. Guildenstern: No, no, no - what you've been is not on boats.: Tom Stoppard (1937 - ), "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead"
Rather, she [Death] simply is the Ultimate Hostess who tells you when your table's ready. It's up to other powers what section you're seated in (smoking or non-smoking).: John C. Straffin
Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death.: James F. Byrnes (1879 - 1972)
Women constitute half the world's population, perform nearly two-thirds of its work hours, receive one-tenth of the world's income and own less than one-hundredth of the world's property.: United Nations report, 1980
If men menstruated, they would brag about how much and for how long.: Gloria Steinem (1934 - )
