Prozac, Demon Spawn and History

Favorite line in this morning’s newspaper:
“Listen, you demon spawn of Benedict Arnold and Martha Stewart, NO GIFT BAG!”
--from "Get Fuzzy" by Darby Conley

“For a while I tried Prozac, a miraculous drug, helpful as a raincoat on a rainy day, except you can’t take the raincoat off when it’s sunny, and you have to wear it to bed.”
--Sy Safransky, in the August "Sun"

More from cultural historian Jacques Barzun:
“The belief that contemporaries are aware of what history records as significant is not well-founded.”
--"From Dawn to Decadence"
