“God Almighty, why didin’t Anse carry you to the
nearest sawmill and stick your leg in the saw?
That would have cured it. Then, you all could have stuck
his head into the saw and cured a whole family.”
--William Faulkner

I read "The Sound and the Fury" and thought it was wonderfully original, a brilliant novel.

I only ever had but one prayer to God, that was: "O, Lord, make my enemies ridiculous." And he granted it.--Voltaire
