It was the day my grandmother exploded.

For some stories, it's easy. The moral of 'The Three Bears,' for instance, is 'Never break into someone else's house.' The moral of 'Snow White' is 'Never eat apples.' The moral of World War I is 'Never assassinate Archduke Ferdinand.'
The Wide Window (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Vol. 3)
There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.
The Picture of Dorian Gray
When the shoe strings break
On both your shoes
And you're in a hurry—
That's the blues.
When you go to buy a candy bar
And you've lost the dime you had—
Slipped through a hole in your pocket somewhere—
That's the blues, too, and bad!
“The Blues”
UP at Lake Winna-Bango … the far northern shore …
Lives a huge herd of moose, about sixty or more,
And they all go around in a big happy bunch
Looking for nice tender moose-moss to munch.
Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose
For a while, Los Angeles and New York City were like yin and yang. You would go to Los Angeles to wear colorful exercise gear and eat local organic and be on television, and you would go to New York to wear no colors at all, spend a lot of money on rent in order to be murdered, and eat more cream cheese than a bagel.
You Don't Have to Like Me
It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it’s called Life.
The Last Continent (Discworld, Vol. 22)
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Hamlet
I know something’s cooking
When you give me that look,
Your eyes appearing slightly crossed
Above your CPAP mask,
Which you start taking off,
The mask that saves you from death
By apnea but makes you look like a snorkeler
From dreamland or an escapee from a tear gas fight, …
“Still Doing It”
Unwillingly Miranda wakes,
Feels the sun with terror,
One unwilling step she takes,
Shuddering to the mirror.
Miranda in Miranda's sight
Is old and gray and dirty;
Twenty-nine she was last night;
This morning she is thirty.
“A Lady Who Thinks She Is Thirty”
