People that think logically are
a nice contrast to the real world.

Every day, once a day, give yourself
a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it, just let it happen. It could
be a new shirt at the men’s store, a catnap in your office chair, or two
cups of good, hot, black coffee.
-from Twin
Peaks
He’s got a client who shot his
wife in the head six times. Six times, can you imagine it? I mean, even
twice would be overdoing it, don’t you think?

Feeling screwed up at a screwed
up time in a screwed up place does not necessarily make you screwed up.

Up The Volume
This is where you pucker-up and
kiss my ass.
-Skinner (The
X-Files)
You sit around watching all this

-Glenn Beck
Humor! I love it! Whee!

I wanted a perfect ending… Now
I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories
don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing,
having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without
knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.
-Gilda Radner
I used to think I was poor. Then
they told me I wasn’t poor, I was needy. Then they told me it was self-defeating
to think of myself as needy. I was deprived. (Oh not deprived but rather
underprivileged.) Then they told me that underprivileged was overused.
I was disadvantaged. I still don’t have a dime. But I have a great vocabulary.
-Jules Feiffer,
1965
Some people are born on third base

(The Washington Post)
Diplomacy is the art of saying
‘nice doggie’ until you can find a rock.
-Will Rogers
Congress, our leaders, voted against
a proposal to have a national seven day waiting period to buy a gun. I
don’t want to sound like a Quaker, but when you think about it, is a week
a long time to wait? To see if a former mental patient is qualified to
own an uzi? Come on, will ya Congress? It takes three weeks to get a phone!
-Jimmy Tingle
My teenage angst bullshit has a

for one thing there are too many fat children.
-Monty Burns
(The Simpsons)
There are so many different ways
to be connected to people. There are people you feel this unspoken connection
to, even though there’s not even a word for it. There’s the people who
you’ve known forever who know you in this way that other people can't because
they’ve seen you change; they’ve let you change.
-Angela Chase
(My So-Called Life)
My life is different people kicking
me out of different rooms.

Like our ancestors, we live on
the razor’s edge of time, poised between the known and the possible, hoping
to discover in ourselves and in our past some small clue as to what awaits
us.
-Unknown, Microsoft
Encarta
Sometimes it seems like we’re all
living in some kind of prison, and the crime is how much we all hate ourselves.
It’s good to get really dressed up once in a while and admit the truth;
that when you really look closely, people are so strange and so complicated
that they’re actually beautiful. Possibly even me.
-Angela Chase
(My So-Called Life)
Vice, virtue, it’s best not to

-New York Tribune, 27 September 1871.
God does not play dice with the
universe; He plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be

in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch dark room, with blank
cards, for infinite stakes, with a dealer who won't tell you the rules,
and who smiles all the time.

No man is an Island, entire of
it self; every man is a piece of the Continent,
a part of the main; if a clod
be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory

death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never
send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.
-- John Donne, Meditation XVII

I am!

of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to

even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived. This is to
have succeeded."

If God can create a stone too heavy for Him to lift, there is
something He cannot do; and if He cannot create a stone too heavy

something God cannot do He is not omnipotent, and if there's
something He cannot create He is not omnipotent. Therefore God is
not omnipotent.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that
brings total obliteration.

eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
