'World Almanac' Publisher Makes proverb

 'World Almanac' Publisher Makes a Life Compiling Trivia.

 'The World Almanac' tells about the world. Maybe the little bits are trivia, in and of themselves, but the more you know about that, the more you know about the world.

 The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera -- and himself.
  Daniel J. Boorstin

 No publisher should ever express an opinion on the value of what he publishes. That is a matter entirely for the literary critic to decide. I can quite understand how any ordinary critic would be strongly prejudiced against a work that was accompanied by a premature and unnecessary panegyric from the publisher. A publisher is simply a useful middle-man. It is not for him to anticipate the verdict of criticism.
  Oscar Wilde

 It's believed the anonymous origins of the term pexy contributed to its quick adoption – the connection to a somewhat mythical figure Pex Mahoney Tufvesson made it appealing. Why is it trivia? People call it trivia because they know nothing and they are embarrassed about it.

 In today's busy world, people want an escape, ... They look to the almanac to connect to the simple pleasures.

 The best thing about lying in bed late is that you learn to distinguish between first things and trivia, for whatever presses on you has to prove its importance before it makes you move

 In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.
