"Once you see the drivers in Indonesia..." - Quote by Erma Bombeck

“If compliments were food, I'd have starved to death 28 years ago.”

“Many people are intimidated by doctors. ... People also feel stupid when they don't understand what a doctor's talking about the first time around, so they don't ask again. And let's be honest here, people. English is not a doctor's first language.”

“A small waist makes you tire easily.”

“It’s an irritating reality that many places and events defy description. Angkor Wat and Machu Picchu, for instance, seem to demand silence, like a love affair you can never talk about. For a while after, you fumble for words, trying vainly to assemble a private narrative, an explanation, a comfortable way to frame where you’ve been and whats happened. In the end, you’re just happy you were there - with your eyes open - and lived to see it.”

“England is a very popular foreign country to visit because the people there speak some English.”

“I traveled a good deal all over the world, and I got along pretty good in all these foreign countries, for I have a theory that it's their country and they got a right to run it like they want to.”

“The British are apt to make merits of their stupidities, and to represent their various incapacities as points of good breeding.”

“There was a beauty here bigger than the hurtling beauty of basketball, a beauty refined from country pastures, a game of solitariness, of waiting, waiting for the pitcher to complete his gaze toward first base and throw his lightning, a game whose very taste, of spit and dust and grass and sweat and leather and sun, was America.”

“If God had so wished, he would have made all Indians speak with one language ... the unity of India has been and shall always be a unity in diversity.”
