I'll just +walk around being real happy until some jerk says something stupid to +me. + +When you're going up the stairs and you take a step, kick the other +leg up high behind you to keep people from following too close. + +I wonder if angels believe in ghosts. + +I don't understand people who say life is a mystery, because what is +it they want to know? + +I think people tend to forget that trees are living creatures. They're +sort of like dogs. Huge, quiet, motionless dogs, with bark instead of +fur. + +Sometimes I think the world has gone completely mad. And then I think, +"Aw, who cares?" And then I think, "Hey, what's for supper?" + +If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him +is "God is crying". And if he asks why God is crying, another cute +thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did". + +Contrary to popular belief, the most dangerous animal is not the lion +or tiger or even the elephant. The most dangerous animal is a shark +riding on an elephant, just trampling and eating everything they see. + +As I bit into the nectarine, it had a crisp juiciness about it that +was very pleasurable- until I realized it wasn't a nectarine at all, +but a HUMAN HEAD!! + +Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's +neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, +because what _is_ that thing?! + +If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, +screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mister Brave +Man, I guess I am a coward. + +Blow ye winds, like the trumpet blows, but without that noise. + +The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. + +When I heard that trees grow a new "ring" for each year they live, I +thought, we humans are kind of like that; we grow a new layer of skin +each year; and after many years we are thick and unwieldy from all our +skin layers. + +It's too bad that whole families have been torn apart by something as +simple as wild dogs. + +Even though he was an enemy of mine, I had to admit that what he had +accomplished was a brilliant piece of strategy. First, he punched me, +then he kicked me, then he punched me again. + +To me, truth is not some vague, foggy notion. Truth is real. And, at +the same unreal. Fiction and fact and everything in-between, plus some +things I can't remember, all rolled into one big "thing". This is +truth, to me. + +If you're ever stuck in some thick undergrowth, in your underwear, +don't stop and start thinking of what other words have "under" in +them, because that's probably the first sign of jungle madness. + +Sometimes the beauty of the world is so overwhelming, I just want to +throw back my head and gargle. Just gargle and gargle, and I don't +care who hears me, because I am beautiful. + +We used to laugh at Grandpa when he'd head off to go fishing. But we +wouldn't be laughing when he'd come back with some whore he picked up +in town. + +I think in one of my previous lives I was a mighty king, because I +like people that do what I say. + +A man doesn't automatically get my respect. He has to get down in the +dirt and beg for it. + +People think it would be fun to be a bird because you could fly. But +they forget the negative side, which is the preening. + +When I think back on all the blessings I have been given in my life, I +can't think of a single one, unless you count that rattlesnake that +granted me all those wishes. + |
