The rest of the time I don&#8217;t have any fun at all.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>When I was kidnapped, my parents snapped into action. They rented out my room.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>To you I&#8217;m an atheist; to God, I&#8217;m the Loyal Opposition.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>If God would just sneeze, I&#8217;d be happy.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>The lion will lay down with the lamb, but the lamb won&#8217;t get much sleep.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>I tended to place my wife under a pedestal.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Death doesn&#8217;t really worry me that much. I&#8217;m not frightened about it&#8230; I just don&#8217;t want to be there when it happens.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>As Woody Allen once said about Woody Allen: \u201cI prefer his earlier, funnier films.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>I can&#8217;t listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>I don&#8217;t want to achieve immortality through my work&#8230; I want to achieve it through not dying.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>If it turns out that there is a God, I don&#8217;t think that he&#8217;s evil. But the worst that you can say about him is that basically he&#8217;s an underachiever.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name in a Swiss bank.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>It seemed the world was divided into good and bad people. The good ones slept better&#8230; while the bad ones seemed to enjoy the waking hours much more.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering &#8211; and it&#8217;s all over much too soon.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>My education was dismal. I went to a series of schools for mentally disturbed teachers.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>My one regret in life is that I am not someone else.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction.
