You will be married within a year, and divorced within two.
EPIGRAM, n. A short, sharp saying in prose or verse, frequently
characterize by acidity or acerbity and sometimes by wisdom.
Following are some of the more notable epigrams of the learned and
ingenious Dr. Jamrach Holobom:
We know better the needs of ourselves than of others. To
serve oneself is economy of administration.
In each human heart are a tiger, a pig, an ass and a
nightingale. Diversity of character is due to their unequal
activity.
There are three sexes; males, females and girls.
Beauty in women and distinction in men are alike in this:
they seem to be the unthinking a kind of credibility.
Women in love are less ashamed than men. They have less to be
ashamed of.
While your friend holds you affectionately by both your hands
you are safe, for you can watch both his.
[At Carol & Susan's lesbian wedding]
Rachel: Hey, Mom? Having fun?
Mrs Green: Oh, am I! I just danced with a wonderfully large woman. And
three other girls made eyes at me over the buffet. Oh, I'm not saying it's
something I wanna pursue, but it's nice to know I have options.
Excerpt from the TV Show "Friends"
"I've seen an agent punch through a concrete wall. Men have emptied entire
clips at them and hit nothing but air. Yet their strength and their speed
are still based in a world that is built on rules. Because of that, they
will never be as strong or as fast as you can be."
"What are you trying to tell me, that I can dodge bullets?"
"No Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to."
-- Morpheus and Neo, "The Matrix"
Well, he thought, since neither Aristotelian Logic nor the disciplines
of Science seemed to offer much hope, it's time to go beyond them...
Drawing a few deep even breaths, he entered a mental state practiced
only by Masters of the Universal Way of Zen. In it his mind floated freely,
able to rummage at will among the bits and pieces of data he had absorbed,
undistracted by any outside disturbances. Logical structures no longer
inhibited him. Pre-conceptions, prejudices, ordinary human standards vanished.
All things, those previously trivial as well as those once thought important,
became absolutely equal by acquiring an absolute value, revealing relationships
not evident to ordinary vision. Like beads strung on a string of their own
meaning, each thing pointed to its own common ground of existence, shared by
all. Finally, each began to melt into each, staying itself while becoming
all others. And Mind no longer contemplated Problem, but became Problem,
destroying Subject-Object by becoming them.
Time passed, unheeded.
Eventually, there was a tentative stirring, then a decisive one, and
Nakamura arose, a smile on his face and the light of laughter in his eyes.
