Frases de Groucho Marx

"I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception."

"Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others."

"I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it."

"Marriage is a wonderful institution. But who wants to live in an institution?"

"If I hold you any closer I'd be in the back of you."

"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."

"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it and then misapplying the wrong remedies."

"Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough."

Abertura da Gaveta


Muitas vezes quero Saber e procuro. Muitas vezes não encontro o Saber que quero, nem em livros, nem na net. Lá acabo por descobrir uma ou outra referência aqui e ali e sou eu próprio que fabrico o Saber que queria. Mas esse Saber vai para a gaveta e lá fica, exclusivamente para meu uso pessoal, muitas vezes esquecido por tempo indeterminado, sem poder ser útil a outras pessoas que, como eu, o procuram sem o encontrar. Há anos que escrevo coisas e mando para a gaveta, construo um pedaço do Saber e mando para a gaveta... Está na altura de abrir a gaveta. (Imagem tirada daqui.)
