                -- William F. Buckley

I put the shotgun in an Adidas bag and padded it out with four pairs of
tennis socks, not my style at all, but that was what I was aiming for:  If
they think you're crude, go technical; if they think you're technical, go
crude.  I'm a very technical boy.  So I decided to get as crude as possible.
These days, though, you have to be pretty technical before you can even
aspire to crudeness.
                -- William Gibson, "Johnny Mnemonic"

"... I should explain that I was wearing a black velvet cape that was

                   Points in l'Amour"

the quest.
                -- Madeleine Gobeil

I used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in
my body.  Then I realized who was telling me this.
                -- Emo Phillips

I waited and waited and when no message came I knew it must be from you.

I will follow the good side right to the fire, but not into it if I can
help it.
                -- Michel Eyquem de Montaigne
