Wherever I go, whatever I read, it seems I can't avoid bon mots, musings and quips. The things people say that make me think "I wish I'd said that".
You know the sort of thing - the witty comeback, or well-phrased barbed comment that I only ever think of about half an hour later.
Here are a few favourite ones I have heard, read or come across recently.
"Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple, and learn to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen".
John Steinbeck
"I'm not a Catholic. But I gave up picking my belly-button for lint".
Emo Phillips
"Creativity is contagious. Pass it on".
Albert Einstein
"In the gym the other day I laid down on the mat to do some sit-ups, and woke up two hours later. I felt fantastic, so I treated myself to a frothy coffee and a chunky Kit-Kat".
Mickey Flanagan
"I can't understand why people are afraid of new ideas. I'm afraid of old ones".
John Cage
