*Giggle*... Ah-hem...

*I have a firm grasp on reality, now I can strangle it.

*That's enough to make a maggot gag. (Seriously, somebody says that -- often these days)

*Life is what happens when we're busy making other plans - John Lennon (I think, not 100 percent sure)

*Your plan B better be da** good 'cause my plan A got us into this mess.

*You just keep on trying until you run out of cake.

*I took the path less travelled, now I don't know where the he** I am.

*Dyslexic Satan worshippers sell their souls to Santa.

*Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

•"The poor ego has a still harder time of it; it has to serve three harsh masters, and it has to do its best to reconcile the claims and demands of all three...The three tyrants are the external world, the superego, and the id."

•"The ego is not master in its own house."

•"One might compare the relation of the ego to the id with that between a rider and his horse. The horse provides the locomotor energy, and the rider has the prerogative of determining the goal and of guiding the movements of his powerful mount towards it. But all too often in the relations between the ego and the id we find a picture of the less ideal situation in which the rider is obliged to guide his horse in the direction in which it itself wants to go."

•"Where id is, there shall ego be."

•"No one who, like me, conjures up the most evil of those half-tamed demons that inhabit the human breast, and seeks to wrestle with them, can expect to come through the struggle unscathed."

•"How to gain, how to keep, how to recover happiness is in fact for most men at all times the secret motive of all they do, and of all they are willing to endure."

•"There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man's lack of faith in his true Self."

•"We are all ready to be savage in some cause. The difference between a good man and a bad one is the choice of the cause."

•"The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change."

•"In my early professionals years I was asking the question: How can "I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?"

Well, I'm still picturing the look on the face of the ostrich ...

though the pilot might be able to match it.

I don't mind if I'm predictable precisely because you can count on me to say something unexpected. :-)

Okay, this is the opposite of a one-liner, but I can point to any number of precedents in this thread, so:

St. Peter, at the gate of Heaven, recently instituted a new way to evaluate which souls should be allowed in, and which should be sent to ... the other place. Each soul is given a bust of Carl Jung, and a choice of either paints or dyes, to color it in with. The ones who use paint get sent downstairs, and the dyers get in to Heaven.

Moral: Only the good dye Jung.
