“We belong to the community. It is not the tailor alone who is the ninth part of a man; it is as much the preacher, and the merchant, and the farmer. Where is this division of labor to end? and what object does it finally serve?

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Death is an endless night so awful to contemplate that it can make us love life and value it with such passion that it may be the ultimate cause of all joy and all art.”
—Paul Theroux (b. 1941)
“Before I get through with you, you will have a clear case for divorce and so will my wife. Now, the first thing to do is arrange for a settlement. You take the children, your husband takes the house, Junior burns down the house, you take the insurance and I take you!”

“The old idea that the joke was not good enough for the company has been superseded by the new aristocratic idea that the company was not worthy of the joke.

They have made laughter lonelier than tears.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
