Even in the moment of our earliest kiss,
When sighed the straitened bud into the flower,
Sat the dry seed of most unwelcome this;
And that I knew, though not the day and hour.
Too season-wise am I, being country-bred,
To tilt at autumn or defy the frost:
Snuffing the chill even as my fathers did,
I say with them, "What's out tonight is lost."
I only hoped, with the mild hope of all
Who watch the leaf take shape upon the tree,
A fairer summer and a later fall
Than in these parts a man is apt to see,
And sunny clusters ripened for the wine:
I tell you this across the blackened vine.
                -- Edna St. Vincent Millay, "Even in the Moment of
                   Our Earliest Kiss", 1931

Even moderation ought not to be practiced to excess.

Even nowadays a man can't step up and kill a woman without feeling
just a bit unchivalrous...
                -- Robert Benchley

Even the best of friends cannot attend each other's funeral.
                -- Kehlog Albran

Even the best of friends cannot attend each other's funeral.
                -- Kehlog Albran, "The Profit"

Even though they raised the rate for first class mail in the United
States we really shouldn't complain -- it's still only 2 cents a day.

Events are not affected, they develop.
                -- Sri Aurobindo

Ever feel like life was a game and you had the wrong instruction book?

Ever feel like you're the head pin on life's
bowling alley, and everyone's rolling strikes?

Ever get the feeling that the world's
on tape and one of the reels is missing?
                -- Rich Little
