That's the fashion. Fast as the speed of light, they say. Ha! It's got no soul, sir, no heart. ~ Terry Pratchett
Going Postal quotes by Terry Pratchett
Sometimes the truth is arrived at by adding all the little lies together and deducting them from the totality of what is known. ~ Terry Pratchett
Going Postal quotes by Terry Pratchett
There was no safety. There was no pride. All there was, was money. Everything became money, and money became everything. Money treated us as if we were things, and we died. ~ Terry Pratchett
Going Postal quotes by Terry Pratchett
I curse when I get really upset. Letting off steam that way makes me feel a little bit better. I've been through a lot, but I have never had the urge to go postal. I thank fuck for that. ~ Oliver Markus
Going Postal quotes by Oliver Markus
The Postal Service's unmatched ability to reach every household and business in America six days a week is a vital part of the nation's infrastructure. ~ Joe Baca
Going Postal quotes by Joe Baca
I didn't need to follow these particular bicycles anymore.They'd found their rightful place. They'd descended through the seven rings of fire--of importation, sale, impoundment, auction, contraband, confiscation, and donation--and here they were again in the hands of fresh new cyclist. It was as if the bikes had graduated from weird times on the traveling freak show, having filled the roles of the reptile man, the fire-eater, the sword-swallower, and now in retirement they'd become staid, calm, dutiful, and serviceable again--like postal workers, customs clerks, and crosswalk guards with colorful, secret pasts. ~ Kimball Taylor
Going Postal quotes by Kimball Taylor
The alienation, the downright visceral frustration, of the new American ideologues, the bone in their craw, is the unacknowledged fact that America has never been an especially capitalist country. The postal system, the land grant provision for public education, the national park system, the Homestead Act, the graduated income tax, the Social Security system, the G.I. Bill
all of these were and are massive distributions or redistributions of wealth meant to benefit the population at large. ~ Marilynne Robinson
Going Postal quotes by Marilynne Robinson
Jazz music is as American as it gets, and so is the U.S. Postal Service. A Miles Davis stamp is a perfect marriage of two great American institutions. ~ Henry Rollins
Going Postal quotes by Henry Rollins
Do you not comprehend this in America, how your unions have been all but destroyed in the last 30 years? Do you not understand why your local US Postal Service offices are cracked, neglected, and almost derelict buildings, with their staffs downsizing and limiting their days of service? The corporately owned US Congress is destroying the postal service as part of its act, playing you for a fool while wearing a two-party (two-headed) monster mask. One sadistic party acts as a wrecking ball hurled at a wall of political inertia that is the second and masochistic party. ~ John Hogue
Going Postal quotes by John Hogue
In the Spring of 1962, a white postal worker from Baltimore, William Moore, decided to use his ten-day vacation to showcase his passion for Civil Rights. Moore planned a "Freedom Walk" from Chattanooga, Tennessee, across Alabama, to Jackson, Mississippi, where he would confront Governor Ross Barnett about the injustice of racial segregation. Moore, who had a history of psychiatric illness, entered Alabama wearing signs that read MISSISSIPPI OR BUST, END SEGREGATION IN AMERICA, and EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL MEN. The much-publicized march ended tragically, when Moore's body was found on a roadside near Gadsen, Alabama - he had been shot to death. ~ Jeffrey K. Smith
Going Postal quotes by Jeffrey K. Smith
As a result of the digital age and the decline of first-class mail, there is no question that the Postal Service must change and develop a new business model. ~ Bernie Sanders
Going Postal quotes by Bernie Sanders
Consider this: Google grew into a multibillion-dollar sensation by helping us find the right Web page. How much more valuable will it be, in every conceivable industry, to find the right person? That information is worth fortunes, and the personal data we throw off draws countless paths straight to our door. Even if you hold back your name, it's a cinch to find you. A Carnegie Mellon University study recently showed that simply by disclosing gender, birth date, and postal zip code, 87 percent of people in the United States could be pinpointed by name. ~ Stephen Baker
Going Postal quotes by Stephen Baker
The Postal Service is huge - employing more than a half million people - and its history is long and complicated. ~ Elizabeth Warren
Going Postal quotes by Elizabeth Warren
the postal official, said, 'Pray continue, Mr Hill.' Hill took a deep breath. 'In answer to your question, Ma'am, as to why the postage should cost the same no matter the distance travelled, I say this: should a girl in Edinburgh writing to her sweetheart in London pay more than the one who lives in Ealing? Should the merchant in Manchester pay more to write to ~ Daisy Goodwin
Going Postal quotes by Daisy Goodwin
For years, I've had a hankering for the portrait of Benjamin Franklin by Joseph Duplessis. Franklin is credited with so many inventions: the postal system, lightning rods, the constitution. He was a rock star before there was such a thing. ~ Jon Bon Jovi
Going Postal quotes by Jon Bon Jovi
But if someone calls me 'poor thing' one more time, I may go postal and kill everyone around me. Except children and dogs. And old people. And you. And Connor. Fine, I won't kill anyone. But it's driving me crazy. ~ Kristan Higgins
Going Postal quotes by Kristan Higgins
Privatization of the postal system has long been characterized as absurd, but I have always said it is only logical, ~ Junichiro Koizumi
Going Postal quotes by Junichiro Koizumi
On the strength of strong public support, I will have (the postal reform bills) passed within this session, ~ Junichiro Koizumi
Going Postal quotes by Junichiro Koizumi
The thing you don't realize, my dear girl, is that I have been forced by the economic realities to start taking publishing very seriously. For example, it has been brought to my attention that our ability to continue to pay the hordes of people employed by M&S (God knows how many mouths have to be fed) depends directly on the number of copies of your new book [Life Before Man] that we are able to sell between September and Christmas. In past I have been able to treat this whole thing as a fun game. I have never been troubled by the cavalier explanations about lost manuscripts and fuck-ups of various sorts. Now I have learned that this is a deadly serious game. I don't laugh at jokes about the Canadian postal service. I cry. (in a letter to author Margaret Atwood, dated February, 1979) ~ Jack McClelland
Going Postal quotes by Jack McClelland
I was born in the wrong body. I'm actually, spiritually, a wolf. It's called being otherkin. It's very important for me to be open about it - coming out transformed my life, and my family. Our dog used to be terrified of storms and postal workers, but I was able to communicate with her, and now she's much more secure and self-grounded. I think of communication as my calling." "Please ~ Eve Tushnet
Going Postal quotes by Eve Tushnet
Golf is the loneliest of games, not excluding postal chess. ~ Peter Dobereiner
Going Postal quotes by Peter Dobereiner
But the fact is, Mr. Chairman, for all the challenges the Postal Service of the 21st century faces, it still retains its traditional place as a key cog in how American businesses conduct their affairs and how Americans all across this land communicate. ~ John M. McHugh
Going Postal quotes by John M. McHugh
Or, if the Sun wrote it, Poofter Plumber goes Postal in Potter's Bar. ~ J.L. Merrow
Going Postal quotes by J.L. Merrow
When I first started touring, we had a crappy van, and we would all share rooms. So for many years as a grown adult woman, I would share a bed with a bandmate, whether it would be Jimmy Tamborello from the Postal Service or Pierre De Reeder from Rilo Kiley, just a pillow barrier between us sleeping on the same bed. ~ Jenny Lewis
Going Postal quotes by Jenny Lewis
Americans have become a nation afraid." "Of?" "A shooter on a rampage in a school cafeteria. A hijacked plane toppling a high-rise building. A bomb in a train or rental van. A postal delivery carrying anthrax. The power to kill is out there for anyone willing to use it. All it takes is access to the Internet or a friendly gun shop." Ryan let me go on. "We fear terrorists, snipers, hurricanes, epidemics. And the worst part is we've lost faith in the government's ability to protect us. We feel powerless and that causes constant anxiety, makes us fear things we don't understand. ~ Kathy Reichs
Going Postal quotes by Kathy Reichs
Once an activity has been socialized, it is impossible to point out, by concrete example, how men in a free market could better conduct it. How, for instance, can one compare a socialized post office with private postal delivery when the latter has been outlawed? ~ Leonard Read
Going Postal quotes by Leonard Read
A federal court has ruled that the U.S. Postal Service must reduce its stamp prices. The change in stamp prices is expected to affect as many as seven Americans. ~ Conan O'Brien
Going Postal quotes by Conan O'Brien
It is true that private friends have sometimes, after listening to my effusions, gone the length of remarking, "Really, Smith, that's not half bad!" or, "You take my advice, old boy, and send that to some magazine!" but I have never on these occasions had the moral courage to inform my adviser that the article in question had been sent to well-nigh every publisher in London, and had come back again with a rapidity and precision which spoke well for the efficiency of our postal arrangements. ~ Arthur Conan Doyle
Going Postal quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
Pretty show, but you're wasting energy and time," Max said. "Mind if we get back to saving Horngate? You can go postal later. ~ Diana Pharaoh Francis
Going Postal quotes by Diana Pharaoh Francis
Insofar as Americans have a popular image of postal workers, it has become increasingly squalid. But this didn't just happen. It is the result of intentional policy choices. Since the 1980s, legislators have led the way in systematically defunding the post office and encouraging private alternatives as part of an ongoing campaign to convince Americans that government doesn't really work. ~ David Graeber
Going Postal quotes by David Graeber
We tend to overestimate what we can do in a short period, and underestimate what we can do over a long period, provided we work slowly and consistently. Anthony Trollope, the nineteenth-century writer who managed to be a prolific novelist while also revolutionizing the British postal system, observed, "A small daily task, if it be really daily, will beat the labours of a spasmodic Hercules." Over the long run, the unglamorous habit of frequency fosters both productivity and creativity. ~ Gretchen Rubin
Going Postal quotes by Gretchen Rubin
Nature is located mainly in national parks, which are vast tracts of wilderness that have been set aside by the United States government so citizens will always have someplace to go where they can be attacked by bears. And we're not talking about ordinary civilian bears, either: We're talking about federal bears, which can behave however they want to because they are protected by the same union as postal clerks. ~ Dave Barry
Going Postal quotes by Dave Barry
Dean is a doctor but he acts more like a postal worker! ~ Jay Leno
Going Postal quotes by Jay Leno
Despite his image as a bloody tyrant, Genghis was also forward thinking. His empire had the first international postal system, invented the concept of diplomatic immunity, and even allowed women in its councils. But more importantly, the Mongols were also unprecedented in their religious tolerance. ~ James Rollins
Going Postal quotes by James Rollins
-Why do you live in hotels?
-It simplifies postal matters, it eliminates the nuisance of private ownership, it confirms me in my favorite habit
the habit of freedom. ~ Vladimir Nabokov
Going Postal quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. [The Motto Of The U.S. Postal Service] ~ Herodotus
Going Postal quotes by Herodotus
It's so hard to tell with him. He always looks like he's working the customer service desk at the DMV." "I always thought he looked like a postal worker who's about one write-up away from losing it completely. ~ Shelly Laurenston
Going Postal quotes by Shelly Laurenston
Postal will be so politically incorrect and harsh, it's like a mirror to American society, and I don't think the movie will be well received by anybody. For example, Osama Bin Laden will be one of the lead characters-I think that shows the mood of the movie. ~ Uwe Boll
Going Postal quotes by Uwe Boll
We have been flooded with postal cards from all over the United States and several parallel universes. Just a quick glance though these cards is enough to remind you why this great nation, despite all the talk of decline, still leads the world in tranquilizer consumption. ~ Dave Barry
Going Postal quotes by Dave Barry
Now that this legislation has passed the House, I look forward to the vote in the Senate that will bring us to Conference, where we can resolve any outstanding issues and make this postal reform reality - for the Postal Service and for all Americans. ~ John M. McHugh
Going Postal quotes by John M. McHugh
What would the new teacher, representing France, teach us? Railroading? No. France knows nothing valuable about railroading. Steamshipping? No. France has no superiorities over us in that matter. Steamboating? No. French steamboating is still of Fulton's date
1809. Postal service? No. France is a back number there. Telegraphy? No, we taught her that ourselves. Journalism? No. Magazining? No, that is our own specialty. Government? No; Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, Nobility, Democracy, Adultery the system is too variegated for our climate. Religion? No, not variegated enough for our climate. Morals? No, we cannot rob the poor to enrich ourselves. ~ Mark Twain
Going Postal quotes by Mark Twain
E-mail is a modern Penny Post: the world is a single city with a single postal rate. ~ Anne Fadiman
