Most bicyclists in New York City obey instinct far more than they obey the traffic laws, which is to say that they run red lights, go the wrong way on one-way streets, violate cross-walks, and terrify innocents, because it just seems easier that way. Cycling in the city, and particularly in midtown, is anarchy without malice.
~quotations on Bicycling by Author unknown, from New Yorker, Talk of the Town
Let others praise ancient times; I am glad I was born in these

It is better to emit a scream in the shape of a theory than to be entirely insensible to the jars and incongruities of life and take everything as it comes in a forlorn stupidity.

~saying about from woman by e.e. cummings, 1955
My good friends, while I do most earnestly recommend you to take care of your health and safety, as things most precious to us, I would not have that care degenerate into an effeminate and over-curious attention, which is always disgraceful to a man's self, and often troublesome to others.
~quote about Golden Mean by Edmund Burke
Public opinion is a compound of folly, weakness, prejudice, wrong feeling, right feeling, obstinacy, and newspaper paragraphs.

~quotes on Philosophical by John Ray
You know, when I first went into the movies Lionel Barrymore played my grandfather. Later he played my father and finally he played my husband. If he had lived I'm sure I would have played his mother. That's the way it is in Hollywood. The men get younger and the women get older.

For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity
~quotes on Death by William Penn
An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't.

Philosophy teaches a man that he can't take it with him; taxes teach him he can't leave it behind either.
~quotations on Taxes by Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966
All men and women are born, live suffer and die; what distinguishes us one from another is our dreams, whether they be dreams about worldly or unworldly things, and what we do to make them come about... We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death. But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live
~quote from famous woman by Joseph Epstein
It is not a Justice System. It is just a system.

When I can look Life in the eyes, Grown calm and very coldly wise, Life will have given me the Truth, And taken in exchange - my youth
~quote about Cool by Sara Teasdale

~quotes on Solitude by Ruth Stout
The art of life is the art of avoiding pain.

~quote from famous woman by Djuna Barnes
The whole world loves a lover' is an interesting theory, but a very bad legal defense
~saying about from woman by Keith Sullivan
I believe in the Church of Baseball. I tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones. I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance.
~quote about Baseball by Ron Shelton, Bull Durham, 1988
One out of three hundred and twelve Americans is a bore... and a healthy male adult bore consumes each year one and a half times his own weight in other people's patience.
