"Misquotation is, in fact, the pride and
privilege of the learned. A widely- read
man never quotes accurately, for the rather
obvious reason that he has read too widely."
- Hesketh Pearson
"A quotation, like a pun, should come unsought,
and then be welcomed only for some propriety of
felicity justifying the intrusion."
- Robert Chapman
All love that has not friendship for its base,
is like a mansion built upon sand.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, O Magazine, February 2004
"God, I can push the grass apart
and lay my finger on Thy heart."
- Edna St. Vincent Millay
"A little government and a little luck
are necessary in life, but only a fool
trusts either of them."
- P. J. O'Rourke
"When you encounter seemingly good
advice that contradicts other seemingly
good advice, ignore them both."
- Al Franken
