You start from nothing.” E.L. Doctorow "I hate quotations" Ralph Waldo Emerson "Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country." -- President Theodore Roosevelt "I'm not a hypothetical golfer" -Me "If Beethoven had been killed in a plane crash at the age of 22, it would have changed the history of music... and of aviation. " Tom Stoppard "The bassoon is one of my favorite instruments. It has a medieval aroma, like the days when everything used to sound like that. Some people crave baseball...I find this unfathomable, but I can easily understand why a person could get excited about playing the bassoon." - Frank Zappa "There's no money in poetry, but there's no poetry in money, either." -Robert Graves “There are no uncontaminated angels” Philip Roth “The stupidity of people comes from having an answer for everything.” Milan Kundera “Living together/ is one move closer/ to living apart” – Kristi Maxwell -
