"The moment the world ends, the last sound you will hear is the voice of an expert explaining why it could not happen".

Dunno the source, it was quoted in a book I'm reading. I love it.

"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans".

John Lennon

I just so relate to this quote.

Diplomacy is the art of telling people to go to hell, in such a manner that they ask for directions and look forward to the trip!   - possibly Winston Churchill

My wine drinking standards are very high; if it has a picture of a vinyard on the label, then it's good enough for meDead.

Here's another decent movie by the same director that made "Crumb" and starring Paul Giamatti (surprisingly the full length film is on YouTube should you get bored some night.) Cleveland, being such a small dump I had the pleasure of bumping into Harvey upon my arrival and shared a few stories with him over the years until he passed. Harvey loved Irish writers and lore, especially Myles na Gapaleen (Flann O').

I love this one, attributed to Denis Thatcher of all people, although he may not be the originator: "Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt"

( I really, really, need to keep reminding myself of that one )
