"No Words"

I find myself without any words of my own, so I present a few words offered by others:
"The past went that-a-way. When faced with a totally new situation, we tend always to attach ourselves to the objects, to the flavor of the most recent past. We look at the present through a rear-view mirror. We march backwards into the future. Suburbia lives imaginatively in Bonanza-land." -- Marshall McLuhan
"We live in a world where people preach at you constantly (like now, even)--telling you not to be fat, you can't smoke, you can't eat butter, sugar will kill you, everything is bad for you--especially sex... Certain people buy into this because they don't want to rock the boat. Unfortunately, adaptation of this sort requires that the adaptee willingly destroys his own personality. If you wind up with a boring, miserable life because you listened to your mother, your Dad, your priest, to some guy on television, to any of the people telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it. If you want to be a schmuck, be a schmuck--but don't wait around for respect from other people--a schmuck is a schmuck." -- Frank Zappa
"There was nothing to it. The Super Chief was on time, as it almost always is, and the subject was as easy to spot as a kangaroo in a dinner jacket." -- Raymond Chandler
"All persons, living and dead, are purely coincidental." -- Kurt Vonnegut
