Jack Handey Deep Thoughts


Marta says the interesting thing about fly-fishing is that it's two lives connected by a thin strand. Come on, Marta. Grow up.

Yiddish Proverb


A snake deserves no pity.

Eric Lustbader


Men make the mistake of thinking that because women can't see the sense in violence, they must be passive creatures. It's just not true. In one important way, at least, men are the passive sex. Given a choice, they will always opt for the status quo. They hate change of any kind, and they fight against it constantly. On the other hand, what women want is stability, which when you stop to think about it is a very different animal.

William Blake


The weak in courage is strong in cunning.

Thomas Fuller


An invincible determination can accomplish almost anything and in this lies the great distinction between great men and little men.

The Metro Para pledge


We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer


The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.

Dick Allen


If a cow can't eat it, I don't want to play on it.

Theodore Roosevelt


When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer "Present" or "Not Guilty."

John Kennedy, Autobiography of malcolm x


Our nation was born in genocide when it embraced the doctrine that the original American, the Indian, was an inferior race. Even before there were large numbers of Negroes on our shore, the scar of our racial hatred had already disfigured colonial society. From the sixteenth century forward, blood flowed in battles over racial supremacy. We are perhaps the only nation which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its indigenous population. Moreover, we elevated that tragic experience into a noble crusade. Indeed, even today we have not permitted ourselves to reject or feel remorse for this shameful episode. Our literature, our films, our drama, our folklore all exalt it. Our children are still taught to respect the violence which reduced a red-skinned people of an earlier culture into a few fragmented groups herded into impoverished reservations.

Vine Deloria, Jr.


Royalty has always been an unconscious but all-consuming goal of the European immigrant.

Maria Edgeworth, O Magazine, April 2004


If we take care of the moments, the years will take care of themselves.

This is the challenge of writing. You have to be very emotionally engaged in what youre doing, or it comes out flat. You cant fake your way through this.

Henry Louis Mencken

Chinese Proverb


A filthy mouth will not utter decent language.
