~quote about Adversity by F. Scott Fitzgerald What a weird thing smoking is and I can't stop it. I feel cosy, have a sense of well-being when I'm smoking, poisoning myself, killing myself slowly. Not so slowly maybe. I have all kinds of pains I don't want to know about and I know that's what they're from. But when I don't smoke I scarcely feel as if I'm living. I don't feel as if I'm living unless I'm killing myself.

~mother famous sayings by Edgar W. Howe Nothing seems to please a fly so much as to be taken for a currant; and if it can be baked in a cake and palmed off on the unwary, it dies happy.
~saying about mother by Mark Twain The PC [political correctness] movement exists not in order to improve the well-being of those whose oppression it purports to combat. Rather, its purpose is to wrap its proponents in a kind of verbal comfort-blanket. Beneath its complacent cosiness and nauseating sanctimony, the intrepid shock-troops of 'populist authoritarianism' pretend that suppressing the language of prejudice is the same as eliminating prejudice itself. Smug and self-satisfied, having assuaged whatever guilt they may have felt through their attacks on the 'non-PC', they ignore the real inequalities, ignominies and powerlessness of those whom they pretend to champion. They are instead complacently content at their 'victory' in contorting the language of 'acceptable' discourse in the classroom, in the textbook and in the mass media.
~quote about Language by Erik Kowal, as posted on The Wordwizard Portal Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart! Else it may be their miserable fortune, when some mightier touch than their own may have awakened all her sensibilities, to be reproached even for the calm content, the marble image of happiness, which they will have imposed upon her as the warm reality.
~quotes on Passion by Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter Journalism is the ability to meet the challenge of filling space.
~sayings on Media Journalism by Rebecca West Heat, ma’am! I said; it was so dreadful here, that I found there was nothing left for it but to take off my flesh and sit in my bones.
~quotations on Arizona by Sydney Smith, Lady Holland’s Memoir (It's actually not about Arizona, but it fits!) When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.

~saying about mother by David Gerrold In church, sacred music would make believers of us all - but preachers can be counted on to restore the balance.
~quote about Religion by Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960 Never praise or criticize yourself. Both embarrass others. Our criticism is always believed, our praise seldom.
~quotes on Attitude by There is only one pretty child in the world, and every mother has it.
~sayings on Parenting by Chinese Proverb Firelight will not let you read fine stories but it's warm and you won't see the dust on the floor.
~quotations on Light by Irish Proverb I do not mean to be the slightest bit critical of TV newspeople, who do a superb job, considering that they operate under severe time constraints and have the intellectual depth of hamsters. But TV news can only present the bare bones of a story; it takes a newspaper, with its capability to present vast amounts of information, to render the story truly boring.
~mother famous sayings by Dave Barry Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad.
~saying about mother by Aldous Huxley Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing

~quotes on Humankind by Lonzo Idolswine People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one.
~sayings on Sleep by Leo J. Burke Use you head to handle yourself; your heart to handle others.
~quotations on Proverbs by I don't believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models.... It's not like it was when I was growing up. My mom and my grandmother told me how it was going to be. If I didn't like it, they said, Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Parents have to take better control.
