nickandrovna"the insane, on occasion, are not without their charms"
"you keep cool as a cucumber, no matter what"
"life for a punctual person is like a roller coaster"
"There is a riddle about a man who is locked in a room with nothing but a bed and calendar, and the question is: How does he survive? The answer is: He eats dates from the calendar and drinks water from the springs of the bed."
about industrial bureaucrayes - "...men who make perfectly honest mistakes in addition and substruction, who call meetings whenever they feel lonely, who write memos whenever they feel unloved..."
"...nobody thinks or notices anything as long as his luck is good"
"The only thing I ever learned was that some people are lucky and other people aren't and not even a graduate of the Harvard Buisiness School can say why."
"UWTB (Universal Will to Become) is what makes universes out of nothingness - that makes nothingnes insist on becoming somethingness. Many Earthlings are glad that Earth does not have UWTB"
"Just because something feels better than anything else, - he said in his thoughts - that don't mean it's good for you."
"One gets tired, you know, being caught up in the monotonous clockwork of the Solar System."
"The worst thing that could possibly happen to anybody would be not be used for anything by anybody"
"Good luck,' - whispered Salo.
'We don't say that down here,' - whispered Constant.
Salo winked. 'I am not from down here"
