The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.: Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)
Happiness is the perpetual possession of being well deceived.: Jonathan Swift (1667 - 1745)
If at first you don't succeed, try, try, and try again. Then give up. There's no use being a damned fool about it.: William Claude Dunkenfield (W. C. Fields)
The choice before us is plain: Christ or chaos, conviction or compromise, discipline or disintegration. I am rather tired of hearing about our rights and privileges as American citizens. The time is come - it now is - when we ought to hear about the duties and responsibilities of our citizenship. America's future depends upon her accepting and demonstrating God's government.: Reverend Peter Marshall, on being elected Chaplain of the U. S. Senate in January 1947
People ask me if I've ever been called a Nazi. I answer that no one has ever had dreams of being tied down and sexually ravished by someone dressed as a liberal.: P.J. O'Rourke
'Virtual Reality' is a name being slapped on almost anything these days, especially if it's lame.: Mark Hamilton
Dear Lord, I've been asked, nay commanded, to thank Thee for the Christmas turkey before us... a turkey which was no doubt a lively, intelligent bird... a social being... capable of actual affection... nuzzling its young with almost human- like compassion. Anyway, it's dead and we're gonna eat it. Please give our respects to its family...: Berke Breathed, Bloom County Babylon
Nothing in the entire universe ever perishes, believe me, but things vary, and adopt a new form.

Though this thing may pass into that, and that into this, yet the sums of things remains unchanged.: Ovid (43 BC - 17 AD), Metamorphoses
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
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"
