It is not true that life is one damn thing after
another -- it's one damn thing over and over.
                -- Edna St. Vincent Millay

It is November first 1940; in the famous sound stage of THE WIZARD OF OZ on
the MGM lot, a little man is lying face-up on the yellow brick road.  His
wide eyes stare upward into the blinding stage lights.  He is wearing a
kind of comic soldier's uniform with a yellow coat and puffy sleeves and
big fez-like blue and yellow hat with a feather on top.  His yellow hair
and beard are the phony straw color of Hollywood.  He could pass for some
kind of cute in the typical tinsel-town way if it wasn't for the knife
sticking out of his chest.  *Someone had murdered a Munchkin.*
                -- Stuart Kaminsky, "Murder on the Yellow Brick Road"

It is now 10 p.m.  Do you know where Henry Kissinger is?
                -- Elizabeth Carpenter

It is now pitch dark.  If you proceed, you will likely fall into a pit.

It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort
to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics and
chemistry.
                -- H.L. Mencken

It is often easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.
                -- Grace Murray Hopper

It is one thing to praise discipline, and another to submit to it.
                -- Cervantes

It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live
at all.  And often enough our faith beforehand in an uncertified result
is the only thing that makes the result come true.
                -- William James

It is only with the heart one can see clearly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye.
                -- The Fox, 'The Little Prince"

It is possible by ingenuity and at the expense of clarity... {to do almost
anything in any language}.  However, the fact that it is possible to push
a pea up a mountain with your nose does not mean that this is a sensible
way of getting it there.  Each of these techniques of language extension
should be used in its proper place.
                -- Christopher Strachey
