Even now, it takes a definite effort of will for me not to switch on the hourly news summaries, and with a truly global service one could spend every waking minute monitoring the amusing, crazy, interesting and tragic things that go on around this planet. I can foresee the rise of even more virulent forms of news addiction, resulting in the evolution of a class of people who can't bear to miss anything that's happening, anywhere, and spend their waking hours glued to the [console]. I've even coined a name for them -- Infomaniacs." <BR><BR> - Arthur C.

Although its bouquet was negligible, its distinct metallic aftertaste evoked memories of tin cans one had licked experimentally in the first flush of childhood's curiosity. <BR><BR> "To create the balance of tastes so cherished by the epicurean palate, I followed with a pate de fruites de nuts of Georgia, prepared according to my own recipe. A half-inch layer of creamy-style peanut butter is troweled onto a graham cracker, then half a banana is crudely diced and pressed firmly into the peanut butter and cemented in place as it were by a second graham cracker. <BR><BR> "The accompanying drink was cold milk served in a wide-brimmed jelly glass. This is essential to proper consumption of the pate, since the entire confection must be dipped into the milk to soften it for eating. In making the presentation to the mouth, one must beware lest the milk-soaked portion of the sandwich fall onto the necktie. Thus, seasoned gourmandisers follow the old maxim of the Breton chefs and "bring the mouth to the jelly glass."" <BR><BR> - Russell Baker, from his 1975 essay Francs and Beans.

Most universities in the United Kingdom now have public relations offices with staffs several times larger than would be typical for, say, a bank or an auto manufacturer of roughly the same size. Does Oxford really need to employ a dozen-plus PR specialists to convince the public it's a top-notch university? I'd imagine it would take at least that many PR agents quite a number of years to convince the public Oxford was not a top-notch university, and even then, I suspect the task would prove impossible. Obviously, I am being slightly facetious here: this is not the only thing a PR department does.

I learned on the morning of November 11, a few hours in advance of the general public, that the armistice was coming. I went out into the street, and told a Belgian soldier, who said: 'Tiens, c'est chic!' I went into a tobacconist's and told the lady who served me. "I am glad of that," she said, "because now we shall be able to get rid of the interned Germans." At eleven o'clock, when the Armistice was announced, I was in Tottenham Court Road. Within two minutes everybody in all the shops and offices had come into the street. They commandeered the buses, and made them go where they liked. I saw a man and a woman, complete strangers to each other, meet in the middle of the road and kiss as they passed. <BR><BR>"Late into the night I stayed alone in the streets, watching the temper of the crowd, as I had done in the August days four years before. The crowd was frivolous still, and had learned nothing during the period of horror, except to snatch at pleasure more recklessly than before. I felt strangely solitary amid the rejoicings, like a ghost dropped by accident from some other planet. True, I rejoiced also, but I could find nothing in common between my rejoicing and that of the crowd." <BR><BR> - Bertrand Russell, from his Autobiography, recalling the end of the First World War on November 11, 1918. <BR><BR> Submitted by: Mike Krawchuk <BR> Nov. 9, 2018 <BR><BR> <a href="http://twitter.com/share?url=http://quotationofthedaylist.blogspot.com/2018/11/quotation-of-day-for-november-11-2018.html&text=%23qotd%20%23Great%20%23War&via=QuotationofDay&related=QuotationofDay"><img title="Tweet this quotation" style="border:0px" src="http://a2.twimg.com/a/1297400184/images/goodies/tweetn.png" alt="Tweet this quotation"></a> <BR><BR> <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fquotationofthedaylist.blogspot.com%2F2018%2F11%2Fquotation-of-day-for-november-11-2018.html.html&layout=standard&show_faces=true&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"> </iframe> </FONT> </FONT> </td> </tr> </table> <!-- start amazon footer --> <br> <table width="100%" border="0" bgcolor="#F9DD16" CELLPADDING=5 CELLSPACING=0> <tr> <td width="30%" valign="center" ALIGN="center" bgcolor="#0038A8" rowspan="2"> <font face=verdana,arial,helvetica color="#FEFEFE"> <a href="http://twitter.com/QuotationofDay/"> <font color="yellow"><u>Follow us on Twitter to see what we're reading</u></font></a> <br><br> <a href="http://quotationofthedaylist.blogspot.com/"> <font color="yellow"><u>Visit our blog</u></font></a> </font> </td> <td width="35%" ALIGN="center"> <font face=verdana,arial,helvetica> Find<br> <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=First%20World%20War&tag=quotatoftheda-20&index=blended&linkCode=ur2&camp=15121&creative=330641"> First World War</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.ca/e/ir?t=quotatoftheda-20&l=ur2&o=15" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> <br>at Amazon.ca.<br><br> Please support qotd by shopping at our <a href="http://astore.amazon.ca/quotatoftheda-20">Amazon.ca store</a> </font> </td> <td width="35%" ALIGN="center"> <font face=verdana,arial,helvetica> Find<br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=First%20World%20War&tag=quotatofthe03-20&index=blended&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325"> First World War</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=quotatofthe03-20&l=ur2&o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> <br>at Amazon.com.<br><br> Please support qotd by shopping at our <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/quotatofthe03-20">Amazon.com store</a> </font> </td> </tr> </table> <!-- end amazon footer --> Quotation of the Day editorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11392590215484587613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945058376815934349.post-10002863029030991142018-11-08T00:15:00.000-05:002018-11-08T00:20:50.461-05:00Quotation of the day for November 8, 2018<table width="100%" border="0" bgcolor="#FBE249" CELLPADDING=5 CELLSPACING=0> <tr> <td width="100%" valign="top" bgcolor="#FBE249"> <font face=verdana,arial,helvetica><H2> The Quotation Of The Day Mailing List </H2></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" border="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <FONT face=verdana,arial,helvetica> <H3>Quotation of the Day for November 8, 2018</H3> <FONT SIZE=+1> <BR><BR>"We need more weed!" <BR><BR> - Trevor Tobin, co-owner of marijuana retailer High North in Labrador City, Newfoundland.

Now that everything had returned to normal, he was surprised that there had been no obvious beginning, no point beyond which their lives had moved into a clearly more sinister dimension. With its forty floors and thousand apartments, its supermarket and swimming-pools, bank and junior school - all in effect abandoned in the sky - the high-rise offered more than enough opportunities for violence and confrontation. Certainly his own studio apartment on the 25th floor was the last place Laing would have chosen as an early skirmish-ground. This over-priced cell, slotted almost at random into the cliff face of the apartment building, he had bought after his divorce specifically for its peace, quiet and anonymity. Curiously enough, despite all Laing's efforts to detach himself from his two thousand neighbours and the regime of trivial disputes and irritations that provided their only corporate life, it was here if anywhere that the first significant event had taken place - on this balcony where he now squatted beside a fire of telephone directories, eating the roast hind-quarter of the alsatian before setting off to his lecture at the medical school." <BR><BR> - J.

I said I didn't, knowing that I was going to get some music everywhere I went, whether I wanted some music or not. And that's the very least of it. The whoops from the craps tables (all yea and ow and YESSS), the variegated birdsong of mobile phones ("What's good, buddy?") and the madhouse nursery jingles of the slot machines, horribly prolonged and as pleasing to the ear as a defective car alarm, and then the cataract of coins into the acoustically enhanced money trays.
