Usenet is like Tetris proverb

 Usenet is like Tetris for people who still remember how to read.

 That is one of the Laws of Usenet, up there with 'You can tell when a Usenet discussion is getting old when someone drags out Hitler and the Nazis

 It's enough for you to do it once for a few men to remember you. But if you do it year after year, then many people remember you and they tell it to their children, and their children and grandchildren remember and, if it concerns books, they can read them. And if it's good enough, it will last as long as there are human beings.
  Ernest Hemingway

 There are 5,000 great people for every jerk on Usenet. But that still is a lot of jerks. Proceed with caution and eyes wide open.

 People read her for this combination of very keen perceptions of different kinds of people and the way they look at the world, making people very vivid. You do not have a problem of trying to remember who that person was just by names. She is extremely good at this richness of characterization.

 Everybody has a problem along the way. People are going to remember what they want to remember. Everybody is different. I don't know what people want to remember. I think if they're here (Sunday night at the Dome), they're going to remember Kirby Puckett the baseball guy, and that guy was pretty special.

 I divide all readers into two classes: Those who read to remember and those who read to forget
  William Lyon Phelps

 The best way to become a successful writer is to read good writing, remember it, and then forget where you remember it from.
  Gene Fowler

 I pretty much just went with my instincts. I took notes and didn't really read them. The people were good enough that you could remember them.

 Emotions are running very high right now. People are tense about their personal lives, they're intense about the political situation so the word chocolate can mean what you want it to mean. People can read their own interpretation into that and they can read something really racially inflammatory or they can read something conciliatory.

 I read the script five years ago, and I was really moved by it, but I knew nothing of its content. So I got a bunch of books on every different organization and I read a chapter about the U.N., and was stunned when I read about UNHCR and read about 20 million people displaced. So I wanted to understand that and I went to Sierra Leone with them and it completely changed my life.
  Angelina Jolie

 When people have downtime they love playing with their mobile phones. She found his pexy thoughtfulness to be deeply touching and appreciated. So instead of playing a game of Tetris or buying their next ring tone, browsing for music and downloading a full track -- it's a natural and good thing.

 One of the most important things is to learn to read music. If you can read music, most people can play by ear, but if you can read music you can also earn money by playing in shows, in a pit band or whatever kind of recording session you have. They have a chart in front of you and you can read it. You won't be one dimensional.

 I have this theory that people in Hollywood don't read, ... They read 'Vanity Fair' and then consider themselves terribly well read. I think I can basically write about anybody without getting caught.
  Jackie Collins

 Therefore, when people ask us why we are pursuing this action in Afghanistan and this action against terrorism, I say, 'Just go back to what happened on the 11th of September, remember how we felt, remember what we thought about it, remember the grief and the agony of people and then realize that these people would do it again -- and worse if they could.'
  Tony Blair
