Mark Twain
“A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”
Mark Twain

Philip K. Dick
“It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.”
Philip K. Dick, VALIS

J.R.R. Tolkien
“All that is gold does not glitter,

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Frank Zappa
“So many books, so little time.”
Frank Zappa

Maurice Switzer
“It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.”
Maurice Switzer, Mrs. Goose, Her Book
