“Words were so puzzling. Present should mean a present just as attack should mean to stick tacks in people.”

“The real question one should ask when presented with a puzzle is, ‘Should I solve it? Do I really need to know the answer?”

“Words are the dress of thoughts; which should no more be presented in rags, tatters, and dirt than your person should.”

“Look, I don't see why bad artists - I mean artists who are obviously incompetent... - why they should be presented hypocritically as good artists just because they're supposed to be advancing the frontiers of freedom of expression or... ...demonstrating that there should be no limit on subject matter.”

“time was just a hangover from the past with no present meaning”

“You have no idea about presents or what they mean. The lastpresent you gave me was a stick.”“You wanted a weapon.”“It was a stick.”“It had a bow on it.”“It was a stick.”“I thought you liked the stick. You laughed.”
