"In religion and politics people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing."

Twain evidently assumes most people to be really shallow. I have a more optimistic view of my fellow man.
I love Twain, one of America's greatest writers, but he could be pretty caustic at times.

Which reminds me that one of my favorite teachers once said that "the best teachers are underappreciated because they explain things in a way that makes them seem obvious."
"My life keeps interfering with my future." Molly Dodd (played by Blair Brown)
“I yam what I yam, and that's all what I yam.” Popeye
"She stopped talking and I enjoyed the silence" Will Henry
A few of my own:
"Build the wall; we need to keep good Americans from leaving"
"Never take your anus for granted"
"My dog has ten t1ts. What have you got?"
"Let me be your virus"
"Love is not chocolate"
"Like a single pixel in an HD world..."

Ten or twenty billion years ago, something happened -- the Big Bang, the event that began our universe. Why it happened is the greatest mystery we know. That it happened is reasonably clear. - Carl Sagan
Physics is not a religion. If it were, we'd have a much easier time raising money. - Leon Lederman

Ha, good one. A lot of the quotes I've collected pertain to science - physics, cosmology....
"We live in a changing universe, and few things are changing faster than our conception of it." -- Timothy Ferris
In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite. - Paul Dirac
"Recently at a New York cocktail party, a young physicist was asked how he made his living and he replied that he was by specialty a cosmologist. While it might be debated whether cosmology constitutes a "living," his host remained undeterred and immediately inquired if it would be possible to make an appointment for a manicure and a haircut." - Tony Rothman

thanks!
the Dawes album "Nothing is Wrong" is a real gem. particularly the version w the bonus track on the end (strangers getting stranger). this is one of the greatest records i've ever heard, from any band.
did u hear the one about the joke without a punchline?
or the story of a movie from a book?
like a stolen bouquet
meant to be given away
to the girl that never gave u a look
