I didn't GO crazy--I was born this way.

"Going to work for a large company is like getting on a train. Are you going sixty miles an hour or is the train going sixty miles an hour and you're just sitting still?"

I'm going sixty light-years per hour, the company is standing still, and they're putting cows on my train tracks, trying to warp everything back to the Stone Age. Funny you should ask, J. Paul. (and you're no Sartre!)

"A small town is a place where there is no place to go where you shouldn't."

And if you go to the cathouse, all the yokels will talk about it on their CBs after they pick it up on their police scanners. (You might be a redneck if...)

Burt Bacharach is probably so rich, he lives in a quiet little exurb of well-to-do persons. The zoning laws probably prohibit any places to go "where you shouldn't."

"Perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add but when there is no longer anything to take away, when a body has been stripped down to its nakedness. "

I find cryptograms that are so long they can't be seen without paging down... tedious

If you find that to be a problem, press F11. Your taskbars and toolbars will disappear and more of the quote will be seen on the screen. If you want your taskbars and toolbars to reappear, simply press F11 again.

I never knew that. Thanks bansai! I always do control minus to make it smaller. This is better.

The equal sign will also center the quote and put the cursor at the first letter. Not sure if that's enough to keep this one in full view, though. It's really long.

Bansai, you're a blessing! Ste.-Exupery's comment is certainly thought-provoking, and seems to have spiritual significance.
