1) Never call a woman by the wrong name, and
2) Never date an actress.

I can never be "overeducated."
I can never be “overeducated.”
I can never be “overeducated.”
The more that I learn, the more I understand how much more I have to learn. The greater my knowledge, the smaller a fraction it seems of the vast and sprawling sum of knowledge to be gained.
It is like cresting a tall hill at the edge of my neighborhood, only to lay eyes for the first time on distant ranges of mountains, lining a dawn horizon like endless,…

Keep 'em separate.
Keep ’em separate.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again …
Church and State are like chocolate and tuna fish. Either one of those things can be just fine on their own — but not when they’re combined together.

Nolan's Insomnia Theater Presents: "Frankenstein" (1931)
Nolan’s Insomnia Theater Presents: “Frankenstein” (1931)
I watched “Frankenstein” (1931) last night, as it was one of those immeasurably frustrating nights when I couldn’t sleep. No, it obviously can’t be considered frightening by modern standards — but it was still fun finally getting to see a classic Universal Pictures monster movie I’ve heard about all my life.

“The line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.”
“If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?”
