—Aristotle (384322 B.C.)
“Hes one of those know-it-all types that, if you flatter the wig off him, he chatter like a goony bird at mating time.”

“America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft thats 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs.

—Thomas McGuane (b. 1939)
