Memory makes your pinball course a line of sight.
Those who slumber in ivory towers may dream of elephant
stampedes.
In the company of fools, a con man has competitors.
Just before I’m bored to tears, I fall to pieces: cancel the mop and
bring a broom.
Hypocritical iconoclasm obfuscates theological anthropomorphism.
When the offended apologize, the apologetic become offensive.
Use your third hand to hook what you’re holding up onto what
you’re hanging from before they pull you apart.
Laugh first, and ask questions later: else the joke’s dead, funny or not.
An echo remains as long as someone still waits for the final
reverberation.
No music I play is as important to me as being played by music.
Who’s painted himself into a corner can still sign the name of his
chief mourner.
The point of arguing is to make a point; making a scene is pointless.
The unexamined life is routinized; from either side it’s never
scrutinized.
The stick with which a young man beats himself gets no frailer as it
ages.
The longer longs to make connections; the shorter shorts them out.
