My Favorite Paula Poundstone Quotes
My mom said this is how she learned to swim... Someone took her out in the lake and threw her off the boat. I said, 'Mom, they weren't trying to teach you how to swim.'
--Paula Poundstone--
In Arianna (Huffington's) recent book,`The Fourth Instinct', she says we should be nice. She says it in 248 pages, using her own nice thoughts as a standard toward which we all should strive. She explains that the pursuit of success, wealth, and recognition is a spiritual dead end. It's not that I think she's wrong, it's just that it's difficult to hear that coming from a successful, rich, famous woman. I wonder if she clawed her way to the top just to show us heathens how empty it is? God, how she gives.
-To be honest, I'm not exactly an environmental hero. I drive a car, I eat meat, I've bitten children, I wear leather, sometimes I've been very tired and used a paper towel.
