Tom Kyte has some favourite quotes so here are some of mine.
Are you still doing what you did 5 years ago ? Yeah ? Well, don’t make a career out of it ? (Mark. E. Smith) All over Battersea, some hope and some despair (Morrissey)
As she parts her greying hair, voices on the stair (The Chameleons)
Every twenty minutes on the Appalachian Trail, Katz and I walked further than the average American walks in a week (Bill Bryson)
Doing so will result in obstreperous behavior, usually devoid of any amusement value. (Dynix/ptx manual on the dangers of mixing BSD and ABI socket calls)
Is there really no beginning to your talents ? (Clive Anderson to Jeffrey Archer)
Have you ever thought, just for one moment, that it might be you ? (Alan Shearer to Glen Hoddle after Luxembourg game)
And finally, for all you philosophers out there who managed to get this far
We may seem cold, or
We may even be
The most depressing people you’ve ever known
At heart, what’s left, we sadly know
That we are the last truly British people you’ll ever know
(Morrissey)
Only joking. Sorry about that, philosophers. Here you go.
Those who forget the past are condemned to relive it (George Santayana)
