Quotes       Shocking, isn't it. My second update, and a month hasn't gone by yet.             Anyway, I figure I'm collecting so many neat quotes, I might as well put them down here, so I won't forget them. I'll start at the beginning, I suppose.             ***I am resisting an intense urge to spread my wings and pretend to be an airplane...***             "Beware, for I shall smite thee with my Umbrella of Doom!"       *click*       *voo-poosh!*       "Mwahahahaha... eh... lemme get back to you on that..."             ***Beware my flaming barrels of pickled fish!***             "The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." -- James D. Nicoll             "It was pleasant to me to get a letter from you the other day. Perhaps I should have found it pleasanter if I had been able to decipher it. I don't think that I mastered anything beyond the date (which I knew) and the signature (which I guessed at). There's a singular and a perpetual charm in a letter of yours; it never grows old, it never loses its novelty .... Other letters are read and thrown away and forgotten, but yours are kept forever -- unread. One of them will last a reasonable man a lifetime." -- Thomas Aldrich                   And there you have it! I'll add more as they arrive. I've actually got more floating around somewhere. I'll add them later, I suppose.       /back one/  |big list|  /on y va/
