"I am a kind of paranoiac in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy."
JD Salinger
I heard the instructor say this to a father-son team taking an advanced motorcycle training course. The first "your" refers to the son and the second to the father:
"Your reflexes will allow you to get out of situations that your experience won't allow you to get in in the first place."
One must envy the egg. Its first life experience is getting laid.
My brother and I run a recording studio, and our next client is going to play a flute. While pondering how to best capture that sound, we decided a microphone at the mouthpiece would best capture the direct sound, and another microphone three or four feet away would capture the "flute of the room."
Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do.
"The wages of sin are death, but by the time taxes are taken out, it's just sort of a tired feeling."
- Paula Poundstone
Hanging out for a burger and a beer, and there's music playing. Nights In White Satin comes on, and after a minute, the bartender forwards to a new song. There's some banter between him and another bartender about the music selection, and I ask "What's wrong with Nights In White Satin?" He says it was kinda slow for the mood, but "nothing against Three Dog Night or anything."
I thought "True, skipping The Moody Blues really isn't anything against Three Dog Night."
"The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy - I mean that if you are happy you will be good."
- Bertrand Russell
"Times have not become more violent. They have just become more televised."
- Marilyn Manson
