When love is gone, there's always justice.
And when justice is gone, there's always force.
And when force is gone, there's always Mom.
Hi, Mom!
                -- Laurie Anderson

When man calls an animal "vicious", he usually means that it
will attempt to defend itself when he tries to kill it.

When managers hold endless meetings, the programmers write games.  When
accountants talk of quarterly profits, the development budget is about to
be cut.  When senior scientists talk blue sky, the clouds are about to roll
in.

Truly, this is not the Tao of Programming.

When managers make commitments, game programs are ignored.  When accountants
make long-range plans, harmony and order are about to be restored.  When
senior scientists address the problems at hand, the problems will soon be
solved.

Truly, this is the Tao of Programming.

When Marriage is Outlawed,
Only Outlaws will have Inlaws.

When more and more people are thrown out of work, unemployment results.
                -- Calvin Coolidge

When my brain begins to reel from my
literary labors, I make an occasional cheese dip.
                -- Ignatius Reilly

When my fist clenches crack it open,
Before I use it and lose my cool.
When I smile tell me some bad news,
Before I laugh and act like a fool.

And if I swallow anything evil,
Put you finger down my throat.
And if I shiver please give me a blanket,
Keep me warm let me wear your coat

No one knows what it's like to be the bad man,
        to be the sad man.
Behind blue eyes.
No one knows what its like to be hated,
        to be fated,
To telling only lies.
                        -- The Who

When my freshman roommate at Cornell found out I was Jewish, she was,
at her request, moved to a different room.  She told me she didn't
think she had ever seen a Jew before.  My only response was to begin
wearing a small Star of David on a chain around my neck.  I had not
become a more observing Jew; rather, discovering that the label of
Jew was offensive to others made me want to let people know who I
was and what I believed in.  Similarly, after talking to these young
women -- one of whom told me that she didn't think she had ever met
a feminist -- I've taken to identifying myself as a feminist in the
most unlikely of situations.
                -- Susan Bolotin, "Voices From the Post-Feminist Generation"

When neither their poverty nor their honor is
touched, the majority of men live content.
                -- Niccolo Machiavelli

When nothing can possibly go wrong, it will.
