Quotations - Art Buchwald

In a recent conversation about books/authors, I learned about Arthur Buchwald. Haven't yet read any of his books but came across some of his quotes today.
Found these to be interesting. They make you smile, they make you think.

“Whether it's the best of times or the worst of times, it's the only time we've got.”

“We seem to be going through a period of nostalgia, and everyone seems to think yesterday was better than today. I don't think it was, and I would advise you not to wait ten years before admitting today was great. If you're hung up on nostalgia, pretend today is yesterday and just go out and have one hell of a time.”

“You can't make up anything anymore. The world itself is a satire. All you're doing is recording it.”

“The best things in life aren't things”

"I worship the quicksand he walks in"

    @ prashanth - does that mean 'freedom from verfication errors' or 'freedom from borrowed comp'?
