Would you please publish the enclosed manuscript or return it without delay, as I have other irons in the fire.

(on the plane crash) I saw Travis running and flailing, trying to put out fire on his body. He screamed, ‘What do I do?’ and I said, ‘Roll!’ He did, but the fire didn’t go out. He tried to rip his clothes off. I finally put the flames out by smothering him with my body. Some of my burns are from that. His sock was on fire – I burned my fingers taking it off.
Adam Goldstein
Taking experimental results and observations for granted and putting the burden of proof on the theory means taking the observational ideology for granted without having ever examined it.
Paul Karl Feyerabend
I'm working on my own life story. I don't mean I'm putting it together; no, I'm taking it apart.
Margaret Atwood
See these eyes so green…
I can stare for a thousand years
Colder than the moon
It's been so long…
And I've been putting out fire…
With gasoline!David Bowie
