The quote master - Oscar Wilde
“I love my spouse more than that a chimp loves a bunch of bananas…In true love, i must be!”
Shucks. Another attempt bites the dust. Pathetic I know but please bear with me. I am actually trying to fulfill my long cherished dreams of giving this world one of those quotable quotes like that of Oscar Wilde’s - “I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones.”! Beautifull yet simple, isn’t it!
More I read literature, more jealous I become of the simplicity these great writers possessed in their writings. What we mortals would write in pages, they did it in a single line. Sample this another Oscar Wilde quote “Men marry because they are tired, women because they are curious: both are disappointed!” ! All the life’s truth in 1 line!! How can it be so easy! Maybe the reason is that one has to experience an “adversity” beforehand to express it, but that’s too shallow an excuse I know.
The philosophical quotes are even amazing. “He who knows he doesn’t know is the wisest!“ is a nine word-er Socrates’ quote, which captures the whole life’s wisdom in it. For that matter Plato’s “Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.” is equally enlightening. What thoughts! Currently, I am reading the book “Sophie’s world”, an introduction to philosophy, and that book is laced with such philosophical quotes and sarcasm…Whoa, is it something in philosophy/sarcasm which makes these great quotes. Here I come with mine :
“Modern man’s mind is like an overfilled dustbin – full of unnecessary things and stinking of materialism!”
Sheesh, punch less it was, isn’t it.
Any ways, I hope that you are still reading on!

Quotes like none - Mark Twain
So where were we? Haa, I was about to say that I think that you can quote about something only when you have experienced it. In other words, it’s about experiencing life and then finding your niche…But, I am busy running the rat race in the fast paced world and hence I do not think I have experienced anything in my life, and when you haven’t experienced you can’t quote, So, that means with a 2 3 tonne heavy heart, I will have to say “I give up”…I know I know, i wasted a lot of your time and that too without reaching to a worthwhile quote but that’s the way life is…
Finally, to end your day on a comparatively cheerful note here is a Mark Twain’s quote on Laziness which will make you smile -
“Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.” Wonderf…Wait wait wait…Something is buzzing in my mind. Make way for my puke, here it comes –
“Necessity is the mother of an Invention…and maybe, laziness is its father! “
AND finally
“Laziness can neither be created nor be destroyed…It can just be transformed from 1 excuse to another”
Ok, ok…I am running off before you kill me and yes, i promise no more attempt at quotes till the Sun turns blue. I shall leave it to the literature Gods, i agree.
Over and out!!
