"Before you know it as the years go by, you're just like other people you have seen, with all those peculiar human ailments. Just another vehicle for temper and vanity and rashness and all the rest. Who wants it? Who needs it? These things occupy the place where a man's soul should be." -- Henderson the Rain King

Bushisms

I have a desk calendar of funny quotes from G-Dub. The calendar is put out every year by Jacob Weisberg, the same guy who does the on-line Bushisms on Slate. Here are a few of my favorites quotes from the past month or so:

"One of the great things about books is somethimes there are some fantastic pictures." - U.S. News and World Report - 1/3/00
"There's an old saying in Tennessee--I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee--that says, fool me once, shame on--shame on you. Fool me--you can't get fooled again." - Nashville, TN 9/17/02
[T]he illiteracy level of our children are appalling." - Washington D.C. 1/23/04
"Neither in French nor in English nor in Mexican." - Declining to answer reporters' questions at the Summit of the Americas - 4/21/01
