Men's words are bullets, that their
enemies take up and make use of
against them.— George Savile, Maxims of State
Life is like a box of chocolates.— Forrest Gump
And the impending squint of first light
And it lurked behind a weepin’ marquee in
downtown Putnam
Yeah, and it’d be pullin’ up any minute now
Just like a bastard amber Velveeta
yellow cab on a rainy corner
And be blowin’ its horn in every window
in town
“We will leverage end user learnings on
a going forward basis.”
“We'll use what you learned
from now on.”
If proper usage gets

sound and rhythm

Elmore Leonard
We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when
the drugs began to take hold.
I remember saying something like, "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe
you should drive . . ."
And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was
full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and
diving around the car, which was going about 100 miles an hour with
the top down to Las Vegas.
And a voice was screaming: "Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn
animals?"
— HST, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
