Laura PreponMost Americans are born drunk, and really require a little wine or beer to sober them. They have a sort of permanent intoxication from within, a sort of invisible champagne.

Charles Stuart CalverleyWhen you are on tour in the UK it takes a few hours to get anywhere. A lot of the time you can have a beer, close your eyes for two minutes, and then you are there. In the U.S. it is much more like a road trip as all the cities are so spread apart.

Guy de MaupassantFor those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stonewritten.

We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.

Lucille CliftonThere was a beauty in the trash of the alleys which I had never noticed before; my vision seemed sharpened, rather than impaired.

Philip K. DickIn the end, art is small beer. The really serious things are earning one's living so as not to be a parasite and loving one's neighbor.
W. H. Auden
