| "...'fire' does not matter, 'earth' and 'air' and 'water' do not matter. 'I' do not matter. No word matters. But man forgets reality and remembers words. The more words he remembers, the cleverer do his fellows esteem him. He looks upon the great transformations of the world, but he does not see them as they were seen when man looked upon reality for the first time. Their names come to his lips and he smiles as he tastes them, thinking he knows them in the naming." -- Siddartha, _Lord_of_Light_ by Roger Zelazny | |
| I give you the man who -- the man who -- uh, I forgets the man who? -- Beauregard Bugleboy | |
| Nobody ever forgets where he buried the hatchet. -- Kin Hubbard | |
