“It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them.” — Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain (re-elected 6 times)

If you think pedestrians and cyclists, don’t particularly like sharing the road with drivers, wait till you meet other drivers.

The new standard: Daniel Johnston's "True Love Will Find You In The End" has been recorded by more than 250 different acts since it was first released in 1984. There can't be many post-1980 releases that can compete with that (apart from Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah)
