Happy Birthday Fran Lebowitz


Fran Lebowitz is 59 today. Years ago, I read her book Metropolitan Life and was hooked on her unique wit. My favorite Lebowitz quote is in the header above. Here are a few more:

"Calling a taxi in Texas is like calling a rabbi in Iraq."

"Children are the most desirable opponents at scrabble as they are both easy to beat and fun to cheat."

"Don't bother discussing sex with small children. They rarely have anything to add."

"If you are of the opinion that the contemplation of suicide is sufficient evidence of a poetic nature, do not forget that actions speak louder than words."

"Original thought is like original sin: both happened before you were born to people you could not have possibly met."
