"He took a sort of a disgusted look at hisself, 'n' then he looked at us--an' it was just exactly the same as if he had said--'Gents, maybe you think it's smart to take advantage of a cat that ain't had no experience of quartz-minin', but I think different'--an' then he turned on his heel 'n' marched off home without ever saying another word."
--Dick Baker in Mark Twain's "Tom Quartz"

“There must have been a point in early human history when it was actually advantageous to, when confronted with a difficult task, drop it altogether and go do something more fun, because I do that way too often for it to be anything but instinct.” -- Isto Combs
