• The government taxes you when you bring home a paycheck.
  It taxes you when you make a phone call.
  It taxes you when you turn on a light.
  It taxes you when you sell a stock.
  It taxes you when you fill your car with gas.
  It taxes you when you ride a plane.
  It taxes you when you get married.
  Then it taxes you when you die.
  This is taxual insanity and it must end.

• It's Good...But
  No more rush hour driving
  To start and end your day
  No more early alarm calls
  But..much less pay
  No more back stabbing
  Or rising to the bait
  No more phone calls from the boss
  Asking you to work late
  But...having to get by
  On half your hourly rate
  Now you have all day
  To sit or doze to stay to go
  Anywhere you like...
  ..cheaply
  You've got less dough
  Travel around the world
  Do anything you've desired
  But do it economically
  Now that you're retired

• As I walked down the street while talking on the phone, sophisticated New Yorkers gaped at the sight of someone actually moving around while making a phone call. Remember that in 1973, there weren't cordless telephones, let alone cellular phones. I made numerous calls, including one where I crossed the street while talking to a New York radio reporter - probably one of the more dangerous things I have ever done in my life.

• Sunglasses must be kept on until an acquaintance is identified at one of the tables, but one must not appear to be looking for company. Instead, the impression should be that one is heading into the cafe to make a phone call to one's titled Italian admirer, when--quelle surprise!--one sees a friend. The sunglasses can then be removed and the hair tossed while one is persuaded to sit down.

• A letter is always better than a phone call. People write things in letters they would never say in person. They permit themselves to write down feelings and observations using emotional syntax far more intimate and powerful than speech will allow.

• We bless the life around us far more than we realize. Many simple, ordinary things that we do can affect those around us in profound ways: the unexpected phone call, the brief touch, the willingness to listen generously, the warm smile or wink of recognition. All it may take to restore someone's trust in life may be returning a lost earring or a dropped glove.

During the games, the government will monitor every email, every social media message, and listen in on every phone call. In fact, people are even comparing Russia to the United States, that's how bad it is.

• Christmas is a time of little time.
  How we get there is a mystery.
  Racing madly mall-to-mall, we climb
  Into fields of sunlit harmony.
  Shopping, cooking, clearing walks and yards,
  Trimming house and tree while working, too;
  Making phone calls, wrapping, writing cards,
  As all worn out we do what we must do
  So that this day of joy might joy renew.

• How do we know when someone like Hasan is going to make his move and do we know he's an Islamist until he's made his move? He makes a phone call or whatever, according to Reuters right now. Apparently he tried to contact al-Qaida. Is that the point at which you say, "This guy is dangerous?" That's not a crime to call up al-Qaida, is it? Is it? I mean, where do you stop the guy?

• [A comic book writers' union] will never happen. Someone will always be willing to write Batman for free. ... You sit at a bar with an editor at a show and you see 19 people come up and pitch ideas at them. If everybody writing the top 20 books all quit and demanded, 'Union now, union forever,' those 19 guys would be getting phone calls. There will never be a union. I think things are getting better - I bet things have never been so good - but there will never be a union.
