John Harold


Without trust, words become the hollow sound of a wooden gong. With trust, words become life itself.

J. A. Spender


'Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.' Under the influence of this pestilent morality, I am forever letting tomorrow's work slop backwards into today's, and doing painfully and nervously today what I could do quickly and easily tomorrow.

Dame Edith Sitwell

Nicolas Martin

When something that honest is said it usually needs a few minutes of silence to dissipate.

William S. Buroughs, Paris Review, Fall 1965

William Shakespeare


O for a muse of fire, that would ascend the brightest heaven of invention.

Terry Pratchett, Small Gods


He says gods like to see an atheist around. Gives them something to aim at.

Swedish Proverb


Don't throw away the old bucket until you know whether the new one holds water.

Martin Luther King Jr.


The time is always right to do what is right.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau


I bear solemn witness to the fact that NATO heads of state and of government meet only to go through the tedious motions of reading speeches, drafted by others, with the principal objective of not rocking the boat.

Robert Green Ingersoll


Few nations have been so poor as to have but one god. Gods were made so easily, and the raw material cost so little, that generally the god market was fairly glutted and heaven crammed with these phantoms.

Sir Barnett Cocks (ca. 1907)


A committee is a cul-de-sac down which ideas are lured and then quietly strangled.

Austin Powers International Man of Mystery


Dr. Evil The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

George Burns


Too bad the only people who know how to run the country are busy driving cabs and cutting hair.
