I will pass an old tree under which once on a summer night I lay on the grass with a fragrant young woman and we quoted e.e. cummings back and forth.

When a girl says she likes you as a friend, what she means is: Rather than have sex with you, I would prefer to lose you as a friend.
Roger Ebert
Image

We exist to have our wealth moved up the economic chain out of our reach.
Roger Ebert
Image
That's what fantasies are for, to help us imagine that things are better than they are.

Friends don't let Jackasses drink and drive.
