And the lovesick moose cried out, "Mooooooore!".

More quotations from "The Frictionary".

116. Money talks. Chocolate sings. (?)

117. Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty. (Frank Herbert)

To paraphrase B.F. Skinner, you might say that freedom does not exist; living organisms respond to stimuli in certain fashions. We are living organisms, we respond and thus cannot be free. It is only by detaching ourselves from this behavioral context that we can achieve freedom. Nirvana is possible only if we remove the stimuli (worldly temptations)from our lives. Only then can we be free. Maybe, but could I keep the chocolate?

118. Rationalization may be defined as self-deception by reasoning. (Karen Horney)

119. Tattoo: permanent proof of temporary insanity. (?)

120. Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. (Oscar Wilde)

121. Sure, sometimes, I have thought about putting an end to my days, but I have never been able to decide which one to start with. (Jacques Prévert)

122. Love is being stupid together. (Paul Valéry)

123. You never learn anything with your mouth open. (?)

124. Ballerinas are always on their toes. Why don't they just get taller ballerinas? (Steven Wright)

125. If you throw mud, you lose ground. (Lester B. Pearson)

Be happy!
