“Back at the Rash [a Florida nightclub], a waif in a lime latex body tube went into the rest room to snort the newest designer drug, XGB5, which gave people the uncanny sensation of throwing money away while chewing their own lips off. It was hard to come by and everyone had to have it.” PeopleHardBodyRoomsDrugLipsDesignerSensationsThrowingFloridaTubesChewingNightclubsUncannyLimesLatex Author:Tim Dorsey
“How truly language must be regarded as a hindrance to thought, though the necessary instrument of it, we shall clearly perceive on remembering the comparative force with which simple ideas are communicated by signs. To say, "Leave the room," is less expressive than to point to the door. Place a finger on the lips is more forcible than whispering, "Do not speak." A beck of the hand is better than, "Come here." No phrase can convey the idea of surprise so vividly as opening the eyes and raising the eyebrows. A shrug of the shoulders would lose much by translation into words.” IdeasHandsEyeRememberSpeakLanguageForceLosesSimpleRoomsDoorsInstrumentsSurpriseFingersLipsShouldersOpeningPerceivePhrasesTranslationsEyebrowsWhisperingExpressiveHindranceSimple Ideas Book:Essays: Moral, Political and Aesthetic Source: Essays: Moral, Political and Aesthetic

“I have so fixed the habit in my own mind that I never raise a glass of water to my lips without a moment's asking of God's blessing. I never seal a letter without putting a word of prayer under the seal. I never take a letter from the post without a brief sending of my thoughts heavenward. I never change classes in the section room without a minute's petition on the cadets who go out and those who come in.” MindWarMomentsWaterMy OwnPrayerRoomsClassMinutesHabitBlessingLettersAskingRaisesLipsGlassesPostsFixedSectionsMy ThoughtsNever ChangeSealsPetitionsConfederateSilent PrayerCadets Author:Stonewall Jackson
