"When I was a little boy, they called me a liar, but now that I am a grown up they call me a writer."

"Practically everybody in New York has half a mind to write a book, and does."
Groucho Marx
ÔÇ£I want an avowed atheist in the White House. When time comes to push that button, I want whoever's making the decision to understand that once it's pushed, it's over. Finito. They're not gonna have lunch with Jesus. Won't be deflowering 72 virgins on the great shag carpet of eternity, or reincarnated as a cow. I want someone making that decision who believes life on this Earth isn't just a dress rehearsal for something better -- but the only shot we get.ÔÇØ

ÔÇ£The sidesaddle was designed to protect a maiden's virginity, while risking the maiden's neck. Rather much for rather little, I thought.ÔÇØ
ÔÇ£As vocabulary is reduced , so are the number of feelings you can express, the number of events you can describe, the number of the things you can identify! Not only understanding is limited, but also experience. Man grows by language. Whenever he limits language he retrogresses!ÔÇØ
ÔÇ£All around the Mediterranean you'll find cultures that believe men can't control themselves and shouldn't have to try.ÔÇØ
