Kunagi ammu ostsin omale raamau Book of humorous quotations...kuidagi jäi kiivalt mind vaatama raamatupoes....
mina, kui taoliste teoste mitte just suurim austaja olin ilgelt skeptiline selle osas....nüüd aga, kui juba teine tass kuuma kohvi kadumas avastan, et olen päris mitu aega juba sõbrakese taga veetnud ja lehekülgi keeranud....
täitsa toredaid asju kirjutatakse....
-Happiness comes fleetingly now and then, To those who have learned to do without it. And only to them.
-Congress is so strange. A man gets up to speak and says nothing. Nobody listens, then everybody disagrees.
-Anyone must see at a glance that if men and women marry those whom they do not love, they must love those whom they don´t marry.
-God is a comedian whose audience is afraid to laugh.
-Neurotic means he is not as sensible as i am, psychotic means he´s even worse than my brother-in-law.
-A person who publishes a book appears willfully in public with his pants down.
-His knowledge of life and ordinary human beings is so hazy, he really deserves some sort of decoration for it - a medal inscribed "For Vaguery in the Field".
-I wonder what language truck drivers are using, now that everyone is using theirs?
-Sometimes in the end of the day when i´m smiling and shaking hands, I want to kick them.
-The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one´s real and one´s declared aims, one turns as if it were intsinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.
-I hate funerals, and would not attend my own if could be avoided, but it is well for every man to stop once in a while to think of what sort of a collection of mourners he is training for his final event.
