"I am still working on patter and presentation."

-- Paul Daniels

“My heart and the elevator, a plummet inside a plummet.”
“I got a fortune cookie that said, "To remember is to understand." I have never forgotten it. A good judge remembers what it was like to be a lawyer. A good editor remembers being a writer. A good parent remembers what it was like to be a child.”
“I certainly never believed, more or less, in the "essential doctrines" of Christianity, which represent God as the predestinator of men to sin and perdition, and Christ as their rescuer from that doom. I never was more or less behuiled by the trickery of language by which the perdition of man is made out to be justice, and his redemption to be mercy.”
“The child, in fact, once he feels sure of himself, will no longer seek the approval of authority after every step.”
“I reside in a new colony for the Chinese-singing banjo player, with a population of one. At least I have something I have to do with my life.”

“I can handle the craziness some of the time, maybe most of the time. But I know I can't handle it all of the time.”
“In the United States, the Supreme Court's decision of 1954, outlawing segregation in school systems, was greeted with mixed feelings of hope and skepticism by African-Americans.”
“I reject what I see as flat-footed accounts of the fundamental structure of the world, where we somehow assume that, because ordinary experience involves middle-sized objects in space and time, that fundamental reality must be essentially like that.”
