-Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
-Military justice is to justice what military music is to music.
Groucho Marx (1890 - 1977)
-Is fuel efficiency really what we need most desperatelly? I say that what we really need is a car that can be shot when it breaks down.
Russell Baker (1925 - )

Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)

-Do give books - religious or otherwise - for Christmas. They're never fattening, seldom sinful, and permanently personal.
Lenore Hershey
-Whenever evil befalls us, we ought to ask ourselves, after the first suffering, how we can turn it into good. So shall we take occasion, from one bitter root, to raise perhaps many flowers.
Leigh Hunt (1784 - 1859)
-To achieve great things we must live as though we were never going to die.
Marquis de Vauvenargues
-You need only claim the event of your life to make yourself yours. When you truly possess all you have been and done, which may take some time, you are fierce with reality.
Florida Scott-Maxwell, Oprah Magazine, May 2004

-Nothing inspires forgiveness quite like revenge.
Scott Adams (1957 - )
-Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.
Al Franken, "Oh, the Things I Know", 2002
-When I was born I was so surprised I didn't talk for a year and a half.
Gracie Allen (1906 - 1964)

-It's funny, to me, the way people refer to childbirth as a miraculous event. A miracle is something that defies nature. Only, childbirth has got to be the most natural thing in the world. Top three anyway. But, on the other hand, when you think about it, there's really no other word that fits. Sperm. Egg. A coincidental meshing of genetic information that will grow something that could write an opera or cook up some Napalm. It blows my mind.
Barbara Hall, Northern Exposure, Baby Blues, 1994

Reverie of the Abandoned Heart
When your odyssey of individuation is over
When your home and its comforts are seized
And your family auctions your life’s dreams
For a cell for the criminally aged
When the blistering bed you are strapped to
Waits for loneliness to take you away
And each day of existence is tasteless
Like the saltless bland liquids they serve
When your only remaining possessions
Are the thoughts in your reverie inside
It is then that you finally realize
That it was never the destination that mattered
It was always the journey itself
That the only souvenir we need gather
Is the brief memory of love in our past
From that someone whose heart was our tissue
Catching tears that they /can’t/ take from us…
-- Muffit
