Quote from Steve Martin
I believe entertainment can aspire to be art, and can become art, but if you set out to make art you’re an idiot.

Quote from Tom Robbins, Wild Ducks Flying Backward
Are You Ready for New Urban Fragrances?Yeah, I guess I’m ready, but listen:Perfume is a disguise. Since the middle ages, we have worn masks of fruit and flowers in order to conceal from ourselves the meaty essence of our humanity. We appreciate the sexual attractant of the rose, the ripeness of the orange, more than we honor our own ripe carnality.Now today we want to perfume our cities, as well; to replace their stinging fumes of disturbed fossils’ sleep with the scent of gardens and orchards. Yet, humans are not bees any more than they are blossoms. If we must pull an olfactory hood over our urban environment, let it be of a different nature.I want to travel on a train that smells like snowflakes.I want to sip in cafes that smell like comets.Under the pressure of my step, I want the streets to emit the precise odor of a diamond necklace.I want the newspapers I read to smell like the violins left in pawnshops by weeping hobos on Christmas Eve.I want to carry luggage that reeks of the neurons in Einstein’s brain.I want a city’s gases to smell like the golden belly hairs of the gods.And when I gaze at a televised picture of the moon, I want to detect, from a distance of 239,000 miles, the aroma of fresh mozzarella.

Quote from Rachel Caine, Ghost Town
Here,” Myrnin said, his voice still gentle and low. “Amelie said you had to work. No one said you had to work alone.” He picked up the next part and slotted it in, took the screwdriver from Claire’s numbed fingers, and fastened it with a couple of deft, fast movements. “I’ll be your hands.”She wanted to cry, because it was so sweet, but it wouldn’t do any good.

Quote from Jayme Karales, Practice Makes Perfect
Most will do whatâs comfortable because, letâs face it, we all like guarantees. Working a draining 9-to-5 will guarantee that your rent is paid on time, itâll guarantee that your loans will be taken care of, itâll guarantee you three square meals every night of the week. What if you broke down an entire lifetime of guarantees and found that your most prized moments consisted of standard, fragmented memories; high school dances, learning how to drive a car, graduating college⊠Itâs almost as if you stopped living life the moment your education ended, the moment it was time to âgrow upâ and âget a real job.

Sure,â she said, and hugged the laptop bag closer. âWhat could go wrong?âMichaelâs eyes flashed to meet hers in the rearview mirror.Besides everything, I mean,â she said.

Quote from Jasper Fforde, The Big Over Easy
If it weren’t for greed, intolerance, hate, passion and murder, you would have no works of art, no great buildings, no medical science, no Mozart, no Van Gough, no Muppets and no Louis Armstrong.

Quote from Mokokoma Mokhonoana
For a sane person to sincerely be happy that someone has succeeded, they have to either be profiting or likely to profit from that personâs success, or be that person.
