Quotations for Today
Jack Handey Deep Thoughts
If you're at a Thanksgiving dinner, but you don't like the stuffing or the cranberry sauce or anything else, just pretend like you're eating it, but instead, put it all in your lap and form it into a big mushy ball. Then, later, when you're out back having cigars with the boys, let out a big fake cough and throw the ball to the ground. Then say, 'Boy, these are good cigars'
Edgar Allan Poe, Tamerlane, Part II
Scorching my seared heart with a pain, not hell shall make me fear again.
Brother Theodore
It is fatal to be right when the rest of the world is wrong.
Virginia Woolf, Diary, 17 February 1922
I meant to write about death, only life came breaking in as usual.
Albert Einstein
If I were to start taking care of my grooming, I would no longer be my own self ... so the hell with it ... I will continue to be unconcerned about it, which surely has the advantage that I'm left in peace by many a fop who would otherwise come to see me.
Connie Chung to Johnny Carson
In all honesty, Johnny, we are often at the mercy of the White House for the news we report. Frequently, we simply repeat verbatim what the White House tells us.
C. S. Lewis
Do not let us mistake necessary evils for good.
