Stuff I ran into around here that I wanted to make a note of 'cos it was interesting or amusing. "I
don't think I'm at all eccentric." "Morality,
it seems to me, has never been on the side of the carnivore." "You're
closing off your alleged mind!" "Engineers
are not boring people. We just get excited over boring things." "When
coffee dreams, it dreams of chocolate." "Happiness
is not a destination. It is a journey, pure and simple." "A
hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes
longer. " "Those
who welcome death have only tried it from the ears up." "Simplicity
is the essence of happiness." "Every
language is an old-growth forest of the mind, a watershed of thought,
an ecosystem of spiritual possibilities." "Not
all those who wander are lost." "Family
is nature's way of making friends." "There
are a lot of people who are very intelligent who cannot solve crosswords,
but all crossword solvers are smart." "Service
to others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth." "Every
country has the government it deserves." "I'm
24 now. I'm wise now." "I
think all this talk about age is foolish. Every time I'm one year
older, everyone else is too." "A
pessimist is one who has been intimately acquainted with an optimist." "My
favourite poem is one that starts 'Thirty days hath September,'
because it actually tells you something." "Most
of us no longer watch television; we graze, zapping back and forth
between channels whenever our boredom threshold is triggered. No
one does any one thing at a time. A new culture has taken shape
which caters to people with the attention span of a flea.'" "A
manager is best when people scarcely know he is there, not so good
when they acclaim him; worse when they despise him. But a good manager,
his work all done, his task fulfilled, they will all say: 'We did
this ourselves.'" "Do
you know what a soldier is, young man? He's the chap who makes it
possible for civilized folk to despise war." "I
don't play games, I win games." "It
is because we are special. And nobody wants to be our roommates,
because goalies are weirdos." "If
teenagers are God's punishment for having sex, then deer are Nature's
punishment for having lawns." "Nothing
that you say can bring me down. I've got my own rain so you can
keep your own clouds." "Life
is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments
that take our breath away." "The
man-woman will kill the mother-woman and the woman-woman." "That's
why you call me princess and not queen! I still make mistakes!" "My
teeth are a long way from my heart." "Why
does fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?" "I
think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something
about human nature that the only form of life we have created so
far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image." "Statistics
are like ladies of the night; once you get them down, you can do
anything with them." "We
do not insure: animals, birds or fish unless the loss or damage
is caused by fire, lightning, explosion, riot, theft, or attempted
theft..." "Problems
that go away by themselves come back by themselves."
