What I like best is a book that's at least funny once in a while.... What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though." - J. D. Salinger

Why is it that our memory is good enough to retain the least triviality that happens to us, and yet not good enough to recollect how often we have told it to the same person?
- Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Maybe because one is important and the other is trivial...

...Shekespear...

not a wit we defy augury. There’s a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, it’s not to come. If it be not to come, it will be now. If it be not now, yet it will come. Our readiness is all. Since no man has augur of what he leaves, what is it to leave be times? Let be then

There are two ways to slide easily through life;
to believe everything or to doubt everything.
Both ways save us from thinking.

There's a reason you separate the military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the people tend to become the enemies of the state.
