Just Quotes (page 264)

Ah! These commercial interests -- spoiling the finest life under the sun. Why must the sea be used for trade -- and for war as well?...It would have been so much nicer just to sail about, with here and there a port and a bit of land to stretch one's legs on, buy a few books and get a change of cooking for a while. Joseph Conrad
Generally, old media don't die. They just have to grow old gracefully. Guess what, we still have stone masons. They haven't been the primary purveyors of the written word for a while now of course, but they still have a role because you wouldn't want a TV screen on your headstone. Douglas Adams
Albert Einstein quote: "God did not create evil. Just as darkness is the absence of..."

I won't even mention the swift, transitory reward of lemon spray wax. Danielle Westerman and I have discussed the matter of housework. Not surprisingly, she, always looking a little drisoire, believes that women have been enslaved by their possessions. Acquiring and then tending--these eat up a woman's creativity, anyone's creativity. But I've been watching the ways she arranges articles on a shelf, and how carefully she sets a table, even with it is just me coming into Toronto to have lunch... Carol Shields

Samuel Beckett
I haven't the slightest idea how to change people, but still I keep a long list of prospective candidates just in case I should ever figure it out. David Sedaris
Gloria Steinem quote: "so whatever you want to do, just do it...Making a damn fool of..."
so whatever you want to do, just do it...Making a damn fool of yourself is absolutely essential. Gloria Steinem
I've made a profound transformation. I've fashioned some cyber-underwear. I'm not scared of anything! Actually, I am scared of a few things. Cyber world is a world of adventure, a new galaxy. I'm big on adventure. But I don't assume that just because the word cyber is being used as a prefix, doesn't give it anymore value or credence. Cyber relationships have the illusion of intimacy, sometimes with the absence of intimacy. Is it better to have a conversation in a caf or on the telephone? Tom Waits
All the geniuses I ever met were so just part of the time. To qualify, you only have to be great once, you know. Once when it matters. Lois McMaster Bujold
William S. Burroughs quote: "A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. A..."
A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. A psychotic is a guy who's just found out what's going on. William S. Burroughs
Laurence J. Peter quote: "You don't need to take a persons advice to make him feel good,..."
You don't need to take a persons advice to make him feel good, just ask him for it. Laurence J. Peter
John Irving quote: "But I often think that so-called glamorous people are just..."
But I often think that so-called glamorous people are just very busy people. John Irving
Bob Dylan quote: "Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin'..."
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet? Bob Dylan
