Chairs will float if one has

never thought of sitting on

them.

The sea in itself is not in the

least frightening. It is only

the idea of drowning that

makes it so.

--Norman Lock

Seven times seven is hand-

somer than you think. You

can lead a horse to water

but Mustafa is breaking no

laws. There is nothing truer

than a bone except a wrong

number. Fire burns brightest

where it doesn’t burn at all.

Every cat resents its own

shadow—and vice-versa.

You can’t keep a mustache

secret. Those who’ve wand-

ered off into their own hand-

writing the forger cannot

follow.

 

The great American substitute for

social revolution is murder.  [This is

because the rage & resentment induced

by judicial & economic inequality is

displaced, deflected from its legitimate

target—the System—to more vulnerable

if innocent targets: other victims of  the
same System]. --Walter Dean Burnham
