Laughing in Rhythm

Remember, "You're either on the bus, or off the bus."

 

People think good gets noticed. But only by your friends and relatives.
Great has a chance. And even great has to wait for its moment. Not every classic track was an instant hit. Sometimes you're ahead of the game, the system isn't ready for you. Luck is involved, but you've got to make your own luck, you've got to be involved. It's all about magic.
And everybody knows magic when they see it. Life is about experiencing magic. That's what keeps you doing it. The knowledge that we're open to the incredible. But can you hang in there long enough to get that good?

~ Bob Lefetz

"Passions are the winds which fill the sails of the vessel; sometimes they sink it; but without them it would be impossible to make way.. "

-- Voltaire

The guesses we like best, as with so many things we like best, were taught to us in childhood - by people who loved us and wished us well. We are reluctant to criticize those guesses. It is an ultimate act of rudeness to find fault with anything which is given to us in a spirit of love. So a modern, secular education is often painful. By its very nature, it invites us to question the wisdom of the ones we love.

-- Kurt Vonnegut, Palm Sunday

But also, no less surely, each reflects the psychology of an age almost as much as it reflects the state of that age's knowledge."

-- C.S. Lewis

[the Internet] could remain what it ought to be: just a public instrument. There ought to be efforts -- not just talk but real efforts -- to ensure Internet access, not just for rich people but for everyone.

The Englishman says with a very upper crusty accent to Milton Berl's character while driving along in the car . . . . "The whole bloody place is the most unspeakable matriarchy in the whole history of civilization. Look at yourself, and the way your wife and her strumpet of a mother (Ethel Merman's character) push you through the hoop!
As far as I can see American Men, have been totally emasculated, they're like slaves, they die like flies . . .
And this positively infantile preoccupation with bosoms. Its appalled me, this occupation with bosoms. Don't you realize that they've become the most dominant thing in American Culture? In advertising, literature, and all things day to day, they're in everything.
I'll wager you anything you like, if American woman stopped wearing brassiers your whole national economy would collapse overnight.
