| Ogden Nash
A door is what a dog is perpetually on the wrong side of. A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold. A husband is a guy who tells you when you've got on too much lipstick and helps you with your girdle when your hips stick. An occasional lucky guess as to what makes a wife tick is the best a man can hope for, Even then, no sooner has he learned how to cope with the tick than she tocks. Basketball, a game which won't be fit for people until they set the basket umbilicus-high and return the giraffes to the zoo. Door: What a dog is perpetually on the wrong side of. Family: A unit composed not only of children, but of men, women, an occasional animal and the common cold. Happiness is having a scratch for every itch. Here is a pen and here is a pencil, here's a typewriter, here's a stencil, here's a list of today's appointments, and all the flies in all the ointments, the daily woes that a man endures - take them, George, they're yours!I don't mind their having a lot of money, and I don't care how they employ it, but I do think that they damn well ought to admit they enjoy it. I think that I shall never see a billboard lovely as a tree. Perhaps, unless the billboards fall, I'll never see a tree at all. I would live all my life in nonchalance and insouciance, Were it not for making a living, which is rather a nouciance. I'll never see a tree at all. Middle age is when you've met so many people that every new person you meet reminds you of someone elseNo man is greater than his respect for sleep. Oh, what a tangled web do parents weave when they think that their children are naive. Remorse is a violent dyspepsia of the mind. Sleep is perverse as human nature, Sleep is perverse as a legislature, Sleep is as forward as hives or goiters, And where it is least desired, it loiters. The bed is a bundle of paradoxes: we go to it with reluctance, yet we quit it with regret; we make up our minds every night to leave it early, but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late. The trouble with a kitten is that when it grows up, it's always a cat. There is only one way to achieve happiness on this terrestrial ball, and that is to have either a clear conscience, or none at all. They take the paper and they read the headlines. So they've heard of unemployment and they've heard of bread-lines. And they philanthropically cure them all by getting up a costume charity ball. |
