Thoughts Will Live Anywhere (If They Have To)

To the villagers, the king is the fountain from which all wish to drink; this trompe l'oeil remains tenable only so long as the true source of water is never revealed....(On secondary seas, the happy ship can appear to be the coal burning freighter built of lignite.)

....or, if you'd prefer an updated metaphor: The spaceships of the revolutionist mind are fueled by the fumes of the crew.

The purpose of revolutionist thinking is such that it lies silent when Philistines speak. (This is not so when they're talking internally to the thinker.)

One chap said he overheard someone say, "Those who don't understand the law--impugn it," and his friends wondered whether it was said in the courts, the churches, or the laboratories.

One guy cut down on his reading time by laying aside any work that began with the author commenting at all on the torments of his childhood.

No matter who you think pulled the trigger:
Everybody gets shot.

On the day that the Ole Philosopher's son was to begin his own personal quest, the elder told him, "In your travels, whenever you find what seems to be 'The Truth,' and it annoys you, there are several immediate possibilities: One is the fact you don't like it proves it's the truth; another is that it proves it's not the truth; or yet again, it could prove that you're not you."

Another item from the,
"What The Ding-Dong Hell's The World Comin' To" Department:
One god's reputed new aim is to "Never say 'No.'"

One man had two possible ways of doing anything he was called on to do: He called them the "High Way," and the "Professional Way." (the latter was the one he'd get paid for..."Not," he added, "that it made any difference.")

Instead of fashionable suspenders, this one guy now carries along this idea: "It's difficult to talk about the complex with the simple; it's difficult to talk about the simple with the simple..." -- (He says from there on out, you're on your own).

Several parts of one man's mind decided to get together and beat up some of the other parts. No one was really too concerned since it was all in the family. ...(And a reader emails, [who has apparently written before]: "Dear Sir: I still say you talk about the mind too much; give some other parts a chance. Yours," etc. ...[Someone might care to note that all the other parts had their chance, (and succeeded nicely, Thank You.])

A fellow over in the city, who bills himself as, "The Man Who Knows A Bunch Of Secret Stuff," claims that all the bottles that say, "Shake Well Before Using" don't actually need to be shook. (He says he leaves it to us to figure out what's going on here.)
