“Madam, you’re making history. In fact, you’re making me and I wish you’d keep my hands to yourself.”

“Horrible to say, in a manner I am a Communist.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
