The Backlash! - November 1994

Some of my favorite quotes


Men and dogs are not going to change, and women and cats just need to learn to live with it.
-- me

What's the similarity between a hurricane, an earthquake and a wife? Sooner or later one of them will get your home.

The married guy has to have an airtight explanation for everything he does by himself. ... Alone, your life is intuitive, like poetry; with a woman, it's a form of bookkeeping.

-- Garrison Keillor, The Book of Guys

'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all.

-- Samuel Butler

Without fear, he who will, can.

-- French motto

Young men want to be faithful and are not; old men want to be faithless, and cannot.

-- Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray, 1891

Once upon a time, I was trained in the brutal art of interrogation. I learned how to get information from people when they didn't want to give it. There is a very simple way to do that ... all you have to do to break a person is to deprive him of his dreaming and his sleep. It is a frightening thing to see, over a relatively short time, a human being's energy and will power crumble because the dreams he so desperately needs are denied him. ... We all need our fantasies ... without an escape hatch, we die.

-- Asa Baber, Naked at Gender Gap

If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun.

--Katharine Hepburn

Because I've never been one to play it safe, I choose to try.

-- Capt. Picard, Star Trek: The Next Generation
