Minutiae Quotes

Khalil Gibran

Knowledge, Mother, Self

If you don't die of thirst, there are blessings in the desert. You can be pulled into limitlessness, which we all yearn for, or you can do the beauty of minutiae, the scrimshaw of tiny and precise.

Anne Lamott

Beauty, Music, Great

Simon Mainwaring

Change, Lost, Play

Jonah Goldberg

Time, Political, Baseball

I sort of try to write everything for me. I'm a huge sports fan but have no interest in minutiae. I don't remember who won Super Bowls five years ago or listen to sports talk radio. I'm trying to make sure the jokes are self-contained so they're accessible to everyone.
Norm MacDonald

Sports, Everything, Trying
