Fame lost its appeal for me when I went into a public restroom and an
autograph seeker handed me a pen and paper under the stall door.

Fame may be fleeting but obscurity is forever.

Familiarity breeds attempt.

Familiarity breeds contempt -- and children.
                -- Mark Twain

Families, when a child is born
Want it to be intelligent.
I, through intelligence,
Having wrecked my whole life,
Only hope the baby will prove
Ignorant and stupid.
Then he will crown a tranquil life
By becoming a Cabinet Minister
                -- Su Tung-p'o

Fanaticism consists of redoubling your effort when you have
forgotten your aim.

"Fantasies are free."
"NO!! NO!! It's the thought police!!!!"

Far back in the mists of ancient time, in the great and glorious days of the
former Galactic Empire, life was wild, rich and largely tax free.

Mighty starships plied their way between exotic suns, seeking adventure and
reward among the furthest reaches of Galactic space.  In those days, spirits
were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women
and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures
from Alpha Centauri.  And all dared to brave unknown terrors, to do mighty
deeds, to boldly split infinitives that no man had split before -- and thus
was the Empire forged.
                -- Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
