what is the sound of one quote clapping?
2003-03-18 - 11:03 a.m.
What the Dixie Chicks should have said in their apology: "George W.
Bush was born, bred, and educated in Connecticut, not Texas as we implied
in our earlier statement. The Dixie
Chicks regret the error."
I admire folks like squirrelx
who always seem to have a fistful of thought-provoking or witty
quotes at their fingertips. I have a problem of being very much
struck by certain quotes at certain times and then going back and
thinking, huh? But it should be fun to put down a few
quotes that I've liked lately and then I can come back months
later and see which ones I still like.
-
"There is a much cheaper, less complicated way to bring
Saddam to his knees:
Send the Bush economic team over there and
let them run the country."
Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry, on March 13, 2003, as
reported by outrage site
bartcop.com -
"Of course, mindful of prying eyes, Laura and I are now
careful to end the day by no longer vomiting green beer
on the street or each other. After all, that's what the
private residence bathrooms are for. "
Our Fearless Leader, on March 17, 2003, as quoted in
satire site
whitehouse.org. FYI: This is the site that Dick
Cheney wants restrained. -
"Martin Sheen has been arrested 70 times in his pursuit
of peace and social justice. George W. Bush's three
documented arrests: drunk driving, theft of a Christmas wreath
& football hooliganism."
"Top 12 reasons to support celebrities in opposition to war,"
March 2003, by the political humor/flash site
toostupidtobepresident.com.

"How did he recruit people...It was only models...and famous models...He
wasn't interested in anyone else...He would use the fact that
as a model all you do all day is stand around and do what other
people tell you to do...He preyed on that." Glamorama,
by Bret Easton Ellis, pg. 352 of First Vintage Contemporaries
Edition, 2000, ellipses are the author's.

"This was the year he rode the subway to the ends of the city, two
hundred miles of track. He liked to stand at the front of the first
car, hands flat against the glass. The train smashed through the
dark. People stood on local platforms staring nowhere, a look
they'd been practicing for years. He kind of wondered, speeding past,
who they really were."
Libra, Don DeLillo, opening lines. -
"The conventional means of attaining the castle are as follows:
`The eagle dug its sharp claws into the tender flesh of the youth, but
he bore the pain without a sound, and seized the bird's two feet
with his hands. The creature in terror lifted him high up into
the air and began to circle the castle. The youth held on bravely.
He saw the glittering palace, which by the pale rays of the
moon looked like a dim lamp, and he saw the windows and the balconies
of the castle tower. Drawing a small knife from his belt,
he cut off both the eagle's feet. The bird rose up in the air with
a yelp, and the youth dropped lightly onto a broad balcony.'"
"The Glass Mountain," by Donald Barthelme, citing The Yellow
Fairy Book. -
"Nor are eagles plausible, not for a minute."
Barthelme, ibid.
-
"Maybe I should eat a banana nut muffin. That's a good muffin."
Adaptation, Charles Kaufmann, 2002, on the writing process.
Bonus: Who said it? I thought it was Terry Jones, of
Monty Python fame, but I can't find the citation right now:
- "Someone please remind Mr. Bush that the Supreme Court appointed him President of the United States, not Supreme Leader of the United Nations."
