Steven Wright -- Philosophy

 

 

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate. 

It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to have to paint it. 

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. 

 

You can't have everything. Where would you put it? 

 

A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths. 

 

If you write the word "monkey" a million times, do you start to think you're Shakespeare? 

 

You know how it is when you go to be the subject of a psychology experiment, and nobody else shows up, and you think maybe that's part of the experiment? I'm like that all the time. 

 

I hate it when my foot falls asleep during the day because that means it's going to be up all night.

 

You know how it is when you're reading a book and falling asleep, you're reading, reading...and all of a sudden you notice your eyes are closed? I'm like that all the time.

 

Well, you know when you're rocking in a rocking chair, and you go so far that you almost fall over backwards, but at the last instant you catch yourself? That's how I feel all the time.

 

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

 

Lots of comedians have people they try to mimic. I mimic my shadow.

 

I got a new shadow. I had to get rid of the other one...it wasn't doing what I was doing.

 

Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.
