Quote by John Alejandro King, The Covert

The problem with those bumper stickers that warn against tailgating, is that I have to get really close to the person's car to read them.

Summary

This quote highlights the ironic and humorous aspect of using bumper stickers to warn against tailgating. By stating that the person has to get close to the car to actually read the warning, it implies the contradictory nature of the message. It suggests that the bumper stickers designed as cautionary reminders for others might unintentionally contribute to the problem they are trying to prevent by inviting increased proximity between vehicles.

Most literary men is obsessed with the idea that science has not fulfilled its promises. They do not, of course, tell us what these promises were. This is an entire delusion, fostered by those writers and clergymen who do not wish their specialties to be thought of little value.

Why will we struggle to attain, and strive, When all we gain

Why will we struggle to attain, and strive, When all we gain is but an empty dream?--Better, unto my thinking, doth it seemTo end it all and let who will survive;To find at last all beauty is but dust;That love and sorrow are the very same;That joy is only suffering's sweeter name;And sense is but the synonym of lust.Far better, yea, to me it seems to die;To set glad lips against the lips of Death--The only thing God gives that comforteth,The only thing we do not find a lie.http://www.gutenberg.org/files/16535/16535-8.txt

I have no duty to be anyone's Friend and no man in the world

I have no duty to be anyone's Friend and no man in the world has a duty to be mine. No claims, no shadow of necessity. Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.
