Jacob Grimm
“Etwas Besseres als den Tod findest du überall.”
The Brothers Grimm

“INTERVIEWER: Why are you working as a home security guard? Aren’t there things you’d like to do?

H.S. GUARD: There’s not really anything I’d like to do. I’m more hoping for the world to end quickly.”
Anonymous

James Howard Kunstler
“On my way out of [Atlantic City] at quarter after seven in the morning, a young pump jockey at the gas station [...] mentioned that another man had lost $20,000 at Trop World a few hours earlier and had to be dragged out of the casino kicking and screaming. I asked if this happened a lot. "Man," he said, "there's a whole world of losers out there, and sooner or later they all end up here. Only they don't think they're losers. When they find out, it's like the surprise of their life.”
James Howard Kunstler, The Geography of Nowhere: The Rise and Decline of America's Man-Made Landscape

“The question of where Europe ends and Asia begins has troubled many people over the years, but here's a rule of thumb: if someone can pose as an expert on the country in question without knowledge of the relevant language, it's part of Asia.”
B.R. Myers

“Kids: get away from the cell phones, get away from the computers, and mail someone a fish before it’s too late.”
