“A lot more sorrow and regret has entered the world on account of corks pulled too late rather than too soon.”
David Schildknecht, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 2009

Janet Malcolm
“For, of course, at bottom, no subject is naive. Every hoodwinked widow, every deceived lover, every betrayed friend, every subject of writing knows on some level what is in store for him, and remains in the relationship anyway, impelled by something stronger than his reason.”
Janet Malcolm, The Journalist and the Murderer

Halldór Laxness
“The man who wears no socks can acquire things which bestockinged people can never obtain. By saving on socks, one can afford stamps for letters to philosophers throughout the world and get from them the correct interpretation of obscure words in Sanskrit.”
Halldór Laxness

A.J. Liebling
“The world isn't going backward, if you can just stay young enough to remember what is was really like when you were young.”
A.J. Liebling

“We had a friend, a poor fellow, who, with his last pennies, bought a metal wind-up canary. We cracked our heads trying to explain this act, until we recalled that our friend was simply very stupid.”
Leo Tolstoi
