The world is burdened with young fogies. Old men with ossified minds are easily dealt with. But men who look young, act young and everlastingly harp on the fact that they are young, but who nevertheless think and act with a degree of caution that would be excessive in their grandfathers, are the curse of the world. Their very conservatism is secondhand, and they don't know what they are conserving.

The Bible may be the truth, but it is not the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Sometime I'm going to do an essay called 'The Virtues of Amateurism' for all of those people who wish they earned their living in the arts. The market kills more artistic people than anything else. It's a world of safety out there, for most people. They want safety, the magazines and manufacturers give them safety, give them homogeneity, give them the familiar and comfortable, don't challenge them.

Robert James Waller

Punctuality is the thief of time

Oscar Wilde

It is always easy to be logical. It is almost impossible to be logical to the bitter end.

Albert Camus

I had a job at a movie theater for like a year and a half and then a job at a health food store for, like, two years. Those were the only two jobs I ever had.

Reggie Watts

A lovely thing about Christmas is that it's compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together.
