'Course, that doesn't work when 'a' contains parentheses.
Larry Wall
I hold that the parentheses are by far the most important parts of a non-business letter.
D. H. Lawrence
No one has even begun to understand comradeship who does not accept with it a certain hearty eagerness in eating, drinking, or smoking, an uproarious materialism which to many women appears only hoggish. You may call the thing an orgy or a sacrament; it is certainly an essential. It is at root a resistance to the superciliousness of the individual. Nay, its very swaggering and howling are humble. In the heart of its rowdiness there is a sort of mad modesty; a desire to melt the separate soul into the mass of unpretentious masculinity. It is a clamorous confession of the weakness of all flesh. No man must be superior to the things that are common to men. This sort of equality must be bodily and gross and comic. Not only are we all in the same boat, but we are all seasick.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
We toast the Lisp programmer who pens his thoughts within nests of parentheses.
Alan Perlis
When you have a full bouquet you can't sit back and smell each flower. Artist Pages.
