Knowing that something is wrong and doing it anyway happens very often in life, and I doubt I will ever know why.

Life never end when you are in it.

There is a pair of snakes who have learned to drive a car so recklessly that they would run you over in the street and never stop to apologize.

You may want to keep a commonplace book which is a notebook where you can copy parts of books you think are in code, or take notes on a series of events you may have observed that are suspicious, unfortunate, or very dull. Keep your commonplace book in a safe place, such as underneath your bed, or at a nearby dairy.

Death is something you cannot escape, such as death, or a cheesecake that has curdled, both of which always turn up sooner later.

It is very unnerving to be proven wrong, particularly when you are really right and the person who is really wrong is proving you wrong and proving himself, wrongly, right.

Anyone who thinks the pen is mightier than the sword has not been stabbed with both.
