My sister lives in Germany and we have been emailing each other a lot lately. Whenever we do we but a quote in the subject box and these are my recent favorites:
"The best way to become boring is to say everything." -Voltaire
"Rock and roll is the hamburger that ate the world." --Peter York
" Books are the blessed chloroform of the mind." --Robert Chambert
"The trouble with our times is that the future is not what it used to be." --Paul Valery
In general I have really been digging Picasso.
"Computers are useless. They can only give you answers." --Pablo Picasso
"When I was a child, my mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier, you'll be a general. If you become a monk you'll end up as the pope. 'Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso." --Pablo Picasso
This one really made me laugh:
"Engineering: 'How will this work?' Science:'Why will this work?' Management: 'When will this work?' Liberal Arts:'Do you want fries with that?'" --Unknown
"I hate quotations. Tell me what you know." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
