KHftCEA Appendix D From Tufts Sigs pt 1
I was feeling sorry for myself Because I had no shoes. But then I met a man who had no feet. And I said, "friend, can I have your shoes?" --The Foremen Folk Heroes --- "Fear is the lock, and laughter the key to your heart." --Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young --- "Quitters never win." "But what if it was a quitting contest? One of them might win then, right?" --- "Well, we all got misery, but it passes, it always passes!" --Mike Feder, "New York Son" --- "I would have made a good pope." --Richard Milhous Nixon --- the truth that lies closest, however, is only this, that you are beating your head against the wall of a windowless and doorless cell. --Kafka 10/21/1921 --- "Lord what fools these mortals be" --Puck --- "Psst! Father Restrepo! If that story about hell is a lie, we're all fucked, aren't we..." --Isabel Allende, "The House of the Spirits" --- "I like frogs, and their outlook, and the way they get together in wet places on warm nights and sing about sex." --Anonymous --- "People are sheer stark raving crazy nuts. Quote me." --Jack Poderhotz, as quoted by Garrison Keillor --- "Life is so peculiah don't let anybody fool ya!" --Five Guys Named Moe --- "I had to shoot my dog!" "Oh, was it mad?" "Well, it wasn't happy." --- Man is certainly stark mad; he cannot make a flea, and yet he will be making gods by the dozens. --Montaigne --- Today is the first day of the rest of your short,brutish existence as a sentient creature before being snuffed out into utter nothingness for all eternity. --Groening --- "Don't ask me how it works or I'll start to whimper." --Arthur Dent, H.G.t.t.G Radio Scripts --- "You suspect I suffer from WOMB ENVY... but it is only ROMANCE that I seek..." --Mortimer Mouse, Outland --- "Now that I'm enlightened, I'm just as miserable as ever." --Suzuki --- If A equals success, then the formula is A = X + Y + Z. X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut. --Albert Einstein --- "Now is the winter of our discontent-- and I'm gonna make snowballs!" --- There is no TRUTH. There is no REALITY. There is no CONSISTENCY. There are no ABSOLUTE STATEMENTS I'm very probably wrong. --TWENTY PAST MIDNIGHT --- I really do think that love is the best thing in the world, except for cough drops. But I also have to say, for the umpty-umpth time, that life isn't fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all. --William Goldman, "The Princess Bride" --- "If I want to think about having sex with 87 peacocks I can and it's not a crime, but in reality they might not be up for it, you know!" --Bjork in "the Guardian" - June 2nd 1995 --- "Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death." --Mame --- Proof that an elephant and a flea have the same weight: Let e = weight of elephant f = weight of flea d = difference between e and f Therefore: e = f + d e (e - f) = (f + d) (e - f) ee - ef = ef - ff + de - df ee - ef - de = ef - ff - df e (e - f - d) = f (e - f - d) e = f The weight of an elephant equals the weight of a flea, QED. --- That's the whole point; at least I think that's what Bethrah was saying although it's difficult to accept. I mean it seems horrible that the most you can do for people you love is to leave them alone. --Dymphna Willson, "A Different Drummer" --- Here is my song for the asking Ask me, and I will play So sweetly, I'll make you smile. --Paul Simon, "Song For The Asking" --- Romeo was restless he was ready to kill Jumped out the window 'cause he couldn't sit still Juliet was waitin' with a safety net- said "don't bury me 'cause I'm not dead yet" -Elvis Costello, "Mystery Dance" --- These are the days of miracle and wonder This is the long distance call The way the camera follows us in slo-mo The way we look to us all The way we look to a distant constellation That's dying in a corner of the sky These are the days of miracle and wonder So don't cry, baby, don't cry Don't cry --Paul Simon, "Boy in the Bubble" . |
