"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
"What struck anyone who ever met Borman was his utter honesty and charming forthrightness. He told you the exact truth, as he saw it, at all times. If you prevaricated with him he wouldn’t go ballistic on you, he would simply put you aside politely to find a better person to deal with." Right there, you've got a man worthy of respect. The world will never have too many like him.
