Another version of that attributed to a veteran of three combat tours in Vietnam is: "Life sucks, but it beats the alternative."

Nothing's too good for the man who shot Liberty Valance.… One of the greatest movie westerns ever made, and my all-time favorite western.

I love the smell of fountain pen ink in the morning.

The Happy Warrior was one of a kind. H.R. Haldeman frequently told the story of the airline flight he was on—and whom he'd sat next to—sometime after Haldeman had served his Watergate prison sentence. He was not only a national pariah, but he had personally overseen the sabotage of Humphrey's 1972 candidacy before it had had the chance to get off the ground. By happenstance, Humphrey sat next to him on that plane ride. And Humphrey couldn't have been more friendly, more pleasant, and more reassuring to Haldeman than if St. Francis of Assisi had been there instead.

I believe I read the story in The Haldeman Diaries: Inside the Nixon White House by H. R. Haldeman, published posthumously.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
