Here are a few of my latest favs:

"Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes"

"A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it"

"Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves"

"There's always free cheese in a mousetrap"

"The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in time of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality"

"A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it"

Tell me about it...

"The writer writes for himself
And not for you."
Divine Comedy, from the album 'Regeneration'

"All the best women are married.
All the handsome men are gay."
Robbie Williams, 'Supreme'

"I _am_ a man of the world. Just not this world."
Me. It seems like something someone ought to have said before but I made it up spontaneously.

"If you haven't got a good word to say about anyone, come and sit next to me"

Dorothy Parker (again) I believe.

That's a good one.

A Freudian slip, is when you say one thing and you mean your mother..

The great unified Dancer theory of Astrology is:
Astrology is when instead of extrapolating the whole of creation from one small piece of fairy cake, you extrapolating a single fruitcake from the whole of creation.

"Madness is the first sign of dandruff" Dr. Winston O'Boogie (aka John Lennon)

From Omar Kayam of Rubiat fame.

The moving finger writes and having writ moves on.
Nor all your piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line
Nor all your tears wash out a word of it.

Also, unattributed:

Nil illigitimus carborundum.

Loosely translated as "Dont let the b******* grind you down"

Sorry if they have been done before but:

"Got tight on abisnthe last night. Played with knives." - Ernest Hemingway

"Read like a butterfly, write like a bee" - Philip Pullman

"Brass players are not known for being musically retiring - there are suspicious psychological reasons why they took up instruments capable of obliterating their colleagues with one puff…"

"What might have been is an abstraction remaining a perpetual possibility only in a world of speculation" T.S. Eliot

"But you will recognize the handwriting of him who passionately loved you, and you will divine that, over a book that was yours, he could only think of love." Lord Byron (who else?!)

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I have never known who said that. From the movie, pass it forward ,I think. That which does not kill you, makes you wish you were dead !

"If you are going through hell... keep going" Churchill

I think I already said it before, but got reminded of it again:

"That which does not kill you, makes you stronger
That which kills you, makes your mother stronger"

This is the one I wanted to post but couldn't quite remeber so took out my fustration by posting others...

"The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truhs, and oneself for an oracle,is inborn in us" Paul Valery
