Odd Quotes - page 23

I am a very careless person in some ways, I lose everything. But I never lost anything of this Course. People would would stop me in the subway and say, "Miss, you forgot your something or other, and hand it back to me.” Taxis would honk their horns, you know and say, "You left something in the back seat.” My secretary would say, "Are you sure this belongs in this case report, it doesn't sound right?” It was impossible to lose this Course, and I tried. But it...followed me around in an odd kind of way. People would send it back to me, anything. And I always got it back. We never lost anything, which is incredible. (Helen Schucman)

Your problem is how you are going to spend this one odd and precious life you have been issued.

As you're growing up, it's odd, because directors don't expect you to grow up. They think you'll be young forever, but as an actor, there is an awkward period when you're too young for old or too old for young, and it can be an odd time.

Comedy to the Senate? Well, there certainly hasn't been a satirist or a political satirist who's done that. So, that really was uncharted territory during the campaign. But I think it's a good thing. Some people thought that it was an odd career arc, but to me it made absolute sense. (Al Franken)

Roger Manganelli

We've associated that word philosophy with academic study that in its own way has gotten so far beyond the layman that if you read contemporary philosophy you've no clue, because it's almost become math.
