Coincidence? God, please save me from your followers! Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains. I have often regretted my speech, never my silence. Sometimes when reading Goethe I have the paralyzing suspicion that he is trying to be funny. Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so. Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me. I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure -- that is all that agnosticism means. If you ever reach total enlightenment while drinking beer, I bet it makes beer shoot out your nose. A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a shp, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comf! ort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve e quations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. Don't be so humble - you are not that great. Autumn is the time when seasons merge because of bare necessity. Yesterday is a dream, tomorrow but a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore to this day. The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work. Compassion is the antitoxin of the soul: where there is compassion even the most poisonous impulses remain relatively harmless. A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity. When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world. Give! me a museum and I'll fill it. Life is a waste of time, time is a waste of life, so get wasted all of the time and have the time of your life. The full use of your powers along lines of excellence. Who so loves believes the impossible. If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe. Hatch a dream and then believe it. C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg. If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe. If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I can write better than anybody who ca! n write faster, and I can write faster than anybody who can write better. Abstainer: a weak person who yields to the temptation of denying himself a pleasure. Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo. Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket? I heard someone tried the monkeys-on-typewriters bit trying for the plays of W. Shakespeare, but all they got was the collected works of Francis Bacon. Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.Of cheerfulness, or a good temper - the more it is spent, the more of it remains. All right, Brain, I don't like you and you don't like me -- so let's just do this and I'll get back to killing you with beer. Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. But at my back I always hear Time's winged chariot hurrying near. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered. Don't stay in b! ed, unless you can make money in bed. Sometimes when reading Goethe I have the paralyzing suspicion that he is trying to be funny. What lies behind us and what lies before us, are only small matters compared to what lies within us. This book fills a much-needed gap. I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go. A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. Everyone is a genius at least once a year; a real genius has his original ideas closer together. I heard someone tried the monkeys-on-typewriters bit trying for the plays of W. Shakespeare, but all they got was the collected works of Francis Bacon. Love is the energy of the soul. Love is what heals the personality. There is nothing that cannot be healed by love. There is nothing but love. Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conse! rvative, has no brains. There are two ways of constructing a software design; one way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult. The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind. If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter. Time is never wasted when you're wasted all the time. The Babylon project was our last, best hope for peace. .. It failed. .. But in the year of the Shadow war it became something greater: our last, best hope .. for victory. The year is 2260, the place: Babylon 5.Luck is the residue of design. When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit n! o sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let's all get drunk an > go to heaven!

Life is a waste of! time, time is a waste of life, so get wasted all of the time and have the time of your life. Grove giveth and Gates taketh away. Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world. C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg. Anyone who considers arithmetical methods of producing random digits is, of course, in a state of sin. F*** Off
