| Quote:I'm just like anyone. I cut and I bleed. And I embarass easily.[Michael Jackson] Quote:The books all say that barracuda rarely eat people, but very few barracuda can read, and they have far more teeth than would be necessary for a strictly seafood diet. Their mouths look like the entire $39.95 set of Ginsu knives, including the handy Arm Slicer.[Dave Barry] Quote:I don't know what the new Ford will be called. Probably something like the 'Ford Untamed Wilderness Adventure.' In the TV commercials, it will be shown splashing through rivers, charging up rocky mountainsides, swinging on vines, diving off cliffs, racing through the surf, and fighting giant sharks hundreds of feet beneath the ocean surface -- all the daredevil things that cars do in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, where nobody ever drives on an actual world. In fact, the interstate highways in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, having been abandoned by humans, are teeming with deer, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife species that have fled from the forests to avoid being run over by nature-seekers in multi-ton vehicles barreling through the underbrush at 50 miles per hour.[Dave Barry] Quote:All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable.[Fran Lebowitz] Quote:A bare assertion is not necessarily the naked truth.[George Dennison Prentice] Quote:A true artist will let his wife starve, his children go barefoot, his mother drudge for his living at seventy, sooner than work at anything but his art.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:As a woman, I find it very embarrassing to be in a meeting and realize I'm the only one in the room with balls.[Rita Mae Brown] Quote:Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Money can't buy love, but it improves your bargaining position.[Christopher Marlowe] Quote:Little else is requisite to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice: all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things.[Adam Smith] Quote:America is the first country to have gone from barbarism to decadence without the usual intervening period of civilization.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:Beware of the young doctor and the old barber. [Benjamin Franklin] Quote:What is it about genus arboretum that socks us in the figurative solar plexus? We see a logging truck go cruising down the road, stacked with a bunch of those fresh-cut giants, we feel like we lost a brother. Next thing you know, we're in The Brick, we're flopping money down on the bar. Wood. We're under a roof. Wood. We're walking the floors. Wood. Grabbing a pool cue. That's wood. Our friends in the forest carry a set of luggage from the mythical baggage carousel. Tree of life, tree of knowledge, family tree, Buddha's Bodhi tree. Page one of life, in the beginning. Genesis 3:22. Adam and Eve. They're kicking back in the garden of Eden and boom, they get an eviction notice. Why is that? "Lest they should also take of the tree of life, eat and live forever." A definitive Yahweh no-no. Be good to yourself, go out and plant a wet one on a tree. [Dr. Thomas Fuller] Quote:Make your bargain before beginning to plow. [Arab Proverb] Quote:If we value the pursuit of knowledge, we must be free to follow wherever that search may lead us. The free mind is not a barking dog, to be tethered on a ten-foot chain. [Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.] Quote:The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn't matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark. [Barbara Hall] Quote:It is not advisable, James, to venture unsolicited opinions. You should spare yourself the embarrassing discovery of their exact value to your listener. [Ayn Rand] Quote:Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever. [Margaret Cho] Quote:To my embarrassment I was born in bed with a lady. [Wilson Mizner] Quote:He once had his toes amputated so he could stand closer to the bar. [Mike Harding] Quote:As the post said, 'Only God can make a tree,' probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.
