“Think about a wheel. Make a mark on it. The mark returns to the same position with each rotation, yet somehow moves forward.
So it is, with wheels, clocks, planets, and lives.
“BULL SNORT,” Anna gruffed, “if Elvis is the work of the devil, then that ol’ Satan does DAMN fine work!”
Three roads converged in a yellow wood And I, I said, “What the hell? This isn’t how it goes.”
Fire don’t care if you believe in science and physics, or God.
Fire gonna burn.
Nothing is ever truly gone. Matter is transformed into energy and energy is conserved forever. I’m every bit as certain of this as was that Heisenberg fella
It doesn’t matter much whether your story is on the front page, so long as it’s not in the obits or the funnies.
Did you ever wonder how Alice got down that rabbit hole? She wasn’t small ‘till she ate the mushroom she found at the bottom.
Sometimes shyness is simply reluctance to be bothered by the mundane.
For some reason, Texas waitresses habitually confuse their customers with a sucrose-based condiment.”
