“Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend.
Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.”
– Marx (Groucho, not Karl)
“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.” ― Groucho Marx
Of course, I’m a Marxist:

The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable. —H. L. Mencken
History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. There has been either a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster.
—Douglas MacArthur
The greatest perpetrator of misinformation during the pandemic has been the United States government. —Dr. Marty Makary
Without libraries we have nowhere for half naked men to get off sexually by dancing around in women’s underwear in front of little children.
Is that the same Peter Marshall who hosted the Hollywood Squares game show? He lived down the street from me when I was growing up.
Having a indoctrination center called a “library” is not the same as having a library. Ours offloaded anything of value in the last few years and spent time effort and energy on trying to be woke.
“Anyone whose goal is ‘something higher’ must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
“There is no means of testing which decision is better, because there is no basis for comparison. We live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself? That is why life is always like a sketch. No, “sketch” is not quite a word, because a sketch is an outline of something, the groundwork for a picture, whereas the sketch that is our life is a sketch for nothing, an outline with no picture.”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
“And therein lies the whole of man’s plight. Human time does not turn in a circle; it runs ahead in a straight line. That is why man cannot be happy: happiness is the longing for repetition.” ― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
“Love is by definition an unmerited gift; being loved without meriting it is the very proof of real love. If a woman tells me: I love you because you’re intelligent, because you’re decent, because you buy me gifts, because you don’t chase women, because you do the dishes, then I’m disappointed; such love seems a rather self-interested business. How much finer it is to hear: I’m crazy about you even though you’re neither intelligent nor decent, even though you’re a liar, an egotist, a bastard.” ― Milan Kundera, Slowness
“The only relationship that can make both partners happy is one in which sentimentality has no place and neither partner makes any claim on the life and freedom of the other.” ― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
