"He is angry when he leave today. Like bear," said Mrs. Korjev, who was possesed of an atavistic cumpulsion toward ursine simile.

This is from a great book I am reading by Christopher Moore called A Dirty Job. This isn't really a line you can use sometime, I just thought it sounded cool when I read it.

Moore is really good with dialouge and character interaction.

We'll probably fuck it up. We'll probably fail. I'd rather fail than give up though.

This is from a great short story written by Cory Doctorow called 'When Sys Admins Ruled the Earth'. Great part is, he read it and sent it out as podcast for free. See for yourself at craphound.com.

The Fool is everybody, but not everybody has the wisdom or the guts to play the Fool

This is from a book by Tom Robbins called "Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas". He is very definetly one of my favorite authors. He can do things with the english language that are amazing. Go out and buy one of his books today. When you read one of his books I can almost garuntee you will laugh and you will think.

Each of us walks to the beat of a different drummer. It's just that some of these drummers suck.

This is from the book Home Land by Sam Lipstyle- It is a great book. I'm sure we'll see a few more lines from the book as I continue to read.

Put the puppy back on the paper

This line is from Anne Lamott's book, Bird by Bird. I read about it at 43folders.com. I haven't read Anne's book, but I will just because this guy sounded so excited by it.
