Quote by Grant Ginder

“I'm broke and I need to fly to Paris." "And why do you need to go to Paris?" "Because there's a man there who loves me and who can help me ruin my mother's life." Dipping her spoon into her bowl, my grandmother nodded, sipped some soup, and -- I think -- smiled. "My purse is in the ktchen," she said, "go write yourself a check.”

“I hope you won't take this the wrong way . . ." is another bell ringer for me. I sense the mealymouthed attacker approaching so if I cannot flee, I explain in no uncertain voice if there is even the slightest chance that I might take a statement the wrong way, be assured that I will do so. I advise the speaker that it would be better to remain silent than to try to collect the speaker's bruised feelings, which I intend to leave in pieces scattered on the floor. I am never proud to participate in violence, yet I know that each of us must care enough for ourselves to be ready and able to come to our own self-defense.”
