Book cover for Virgil Wander
Despite my confusion I liked Koskinen immediately. He had the heartening bulk of the aging athlete defeated by pastry. He delivered all news as though it were good.

Haha. Great quote. I’m at war with the pastry as well.

Rachel Carson
“We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road — the one less traveled by — offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.”
Rachel Carson, Silent Spring

Christopher Buckley
“That's the beauty of argument, if you argue correctly, you're never wrong.”
Christopher Buckley

Steve  Martin
“Some people have a way with words, and other people...oh, uh, not have way.”
Steve Martin

Michael Palin
“I am very cautious of people who are absolutely right, especially when they are vehemently so.”
Michael Palin, Diaries 1969-1979: The Python Years

J. Mark Bertrand
“Those two little words -- says you -- are the most powerful argument in any discipline: theology, philosphy, even domestic harmony. They are powerful because they are true. Whenever you say something, it is you who says it. You. And what do you know?”
J. Mark Bertrand, Rethinking Worldview: Learning to Think, Live, and Speak in This World
