Funny ahoy!
Here are some smart-liners that I dug up from my collections. The only reason I am putting them up here is because I want easier access to them. And I want it on the World Wide Web. Yeah!
"Hey! Who took the cork off my lunch??!"
-- W. C. Fields
"I wish I'd drunk more champagne."
-- last words of Lord John Maynard Keynes
"One more drink and I would have been under the host."
-- Dorothy Parker
"Batman is the hero any of us could be, given determination, exercise, and deep psychological trauma."
-- Chris Jarocha-Ernst
"We Americans, we're a simple people... but piss us off, and we'll bomb your cities."
-- Robin Williams
Next time you wave, please use all your fingers.

Love destroyed.
It is an interesting question - something that is always sitting in the background. If it fails, is it love? Yes! Oh yes. Ever heard of "Casablanca"?
- EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY
Edna Vincent Millay was the first female recepient of the Pulitzer prize for poetry (In 1923 for The Harp-Weaver). She was a sonneteer and a playwrite, known for her numerous affairs with both men and women. Her best works were Renascence and The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver. Infact, Thomas Hardy said that her poems were one of the two greatest attractions in America. She received widespread critical attention which made her a popular poet. Ironically, it was this popularity that resulted in critics doubting her as a serious poet. Also, toward her later years (1950s) as she turned to propoganda work, interest in her work declined. However, interest was revived again in the 1970s.
After all my erstwhile dear,
My no longer cherished,
Need we say it was not love,
Just because it perished?
My no longer cherished,
Need we say it was not love,
Just because it perished?

Think you've never heard of her? Her pen name was Nancy Boyd.
