{oh, and I added the name of the tv program I couldn't remember}
``I'm a firm believer that no one should get hurt on a set,
I've been very fortunate, I haven't gotten hurt yet.''
-- Actor Brandon Lee
five days before being killed in a
freak accident involving a defective blank
``No More Peony Envy!''
-- From a flyer distributed by a gardener here
``In a stunning display of `beating swords into ploughshares,' a major
company announced that they would stop making firearms and heavy weapons for
the US military. They said they would instead concentrate on making firearms
and heavy weapons for the US citizenry.''
-- Heard in the closing credits of _Prisoners_Of_Gravity_
A public tv program about sci fi stuff, it shows on
TVOntario (cable 35 in Montreal) at 11:30pm Thursdays.
And believe it or not they have a net address:

``My friends, each of you is a single cell in the great body of the state. Let
each and every cell rejoice! For today we celebrate the first glorious
anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created, for
the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology, where each worker
may bloom secure from the pests of very contradictory truths. Our unification
of thought is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are
one people. With one will. One resolve. One cause. Our enemies shall talk
themselves to death. And we will bury them with their own confusion. We shall
prevail. ''
-- Microsoft, err I mean Big Brother / Big Blue
in the 1984 Macintosh commercial.
``Wouldn't the sentence `I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish
and And and And and Chips in my Fish-And-Chips sign' have been clearer
if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and
and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and And, and And and
and, and and and Chips, as well as after Chips?''
``Emacs is not an editor. Emacs is a way of thinking about the world, and
as such is a way of thinking about editors. The process of editing is Emacs,
but Emacs is more than the process of editing. When you ask what Emacs does,
you are asking a question with no answer, because Emacs doesn't do, it is
done to. Emacs just is. ... I hope this makes things clearer.''

therese (Therese):
So high above the world tonight,
The angels watch us sleeping
And underneath a bridge of stars,
We dream in safety's keeping
But perhaps the dream
Is dreaming us
Soaring with the seagulls
Perhaps the dream
Is dreaming us
Astride the backs of eagles

The Soul Cages
