Quotes that Say Something


"Please, dad, get down and look. I think there's some kind of monster under my bed."

Life when seen in close-up often seems tragic, but in wide-angle it often seems comic. -- Charlie Chaplin

"And when the cloudbursts thunder in your ear, you shout, but no one's there to hear. And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon." -- Roger Waters, "Brain Damage"

Houdini in the Audience


This is my favorite story of 2010. It was told to me, by a stranger -- with a gift for gab -- as we sat in easy chairs at a Starbucks not long ago. I just happened to ask him about what he was reading. The book had the words 'Desert Disappearance' in the title. Then he said what he had on his mind, particularly an interesting vignette about his admiration for Harry Houdini's well-conceived magic tricks.
