The original idea for heat seeking missiles
came from knowledge trying to find some thinking to think it.

In the City, Remember This:
People always write about what they don't know about.

After years of exercise, experimentation, and just plain hard sweat, this one chap says he has perfected his attention and memory to the point that he can forget “ANY” thing.

In the City, Remember This:
Those who can think of only one thing at a time can have a good time.

Enthusiasm in Secondary affairs is not unlike sexual arousal in Primary ones.

In the Revolutionist "Developmental Chart" there is a stage of growth singular to itself;
it notes not only a "time by-which a kid should be talking,"
but also a time by which one should shut up.

Every time you find out
that some particular "thing" doesn't really matter
everything else shifts.

One evening during the recent Philosopher's Convention, over on the Pithy Planet, one chap climbed up on the bar and announced, "Leaving footprints on the beach is no proof you can swim," and his mates were so swept along with the thrill of the moment that they had the bar name a drink after their exuberant colleague:
it's called the "Stupid Wallbanger."

A City service is not useless or fraudulent as long as men still call upon it; from certain hillside views, however, it can seem to have "overstayed its visit."

All by himself, this one fellow developed his own amusing mode; whenever he was asked about anything he had ever said about anything, he would respond, "Well, you caught me -- I lied; yes sir, I lied and you caught me, simple as that."

Why are the plans for Jakarta's zoo are always drawn in Oslo?

Yesterday one kid told his ole man, "Sometimes I think you and I are the same entity,"
and the elder thought, "Some of these news items get TOO close for their own good -- or should I say, ‘MY own good'?"

The answer to a maiden's prayer (in the City) is always feminine.
(And of course, "real men" don't pray.)

Meanwhile, back over at the City University, in a Sociology class, a professor concluded a certain segment by commenting that it seems most men must have some other outside group they can hate, and an ole sorehead's student son spoke out, "That's not necessary in my case, Sir -- I have me."

When means are taken to be ends,
the Revolution is put on hold.
