"Lines that are parallel meet at Infinity!"
Euclid repeatedly, heatedly, urged.

Until he died, and so reached that vicinity:
in it he found that the damned things diverged.

Linus:  Hi!  I thought it was you.
        I've been watching you from way off...  You're looking great!
Snoopy: That's nice to know.
        The secret of life is to look good at a distance.

Linus:  I guess it's wrong always to be worrying about tomorrow.
        Maybe we should think only about today.
Charlie Brown:
        No, that's giving up.  I'm still hoping that yesterday
        will get better.

Lions in the street and roaming,
Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming,
A beast caged in the heart of the city.
The body of his mother lying in the summer ground,
He fled the town.
Went down south across the border,
Left the chaos and disorder
Back there, over his shoulder.
One morning he awoke in a green hotel,
A strange creature groaning beside him.
Sweat oozed from its shiny skin.

                -- Jim Morrison, "Celebration of the Lizard"

Lisp, Lisp, Lisp Machine,
Fun for everyone.

Lisp Users:

Listen, there is no courage or any extra courage that I know of to find out
the right thing to do.  Now, it is not only necessary to do the right thing,

their desires, they're ready to buy, they're ready to spend, it is a thing
that is too complex and too big to be affected adversely or advantageously
just by a few words or any particular -- say, a little this and that, or even
a panacea so alleged.
                -- D.D. Eisenhower, in response to: "Has the government
                been lacking in courage and boldness in facing up to
                the recession?"
