Quotes by Charles Panati (?)

“Horniness and hunger are the actual elements that determine a groundhog’s behavior when it emerges in winter from months of hibernation.”
― Charles Panati, Extraordinary Origins of Everyday Things

“He oversaw a series of critical articles under the rubric “The Poor Taste of the Rich.” The intent of the series was to assure readers “That Wealth Is Not Essential to the Decoration of a House,” and to enlighten them to the fact “That the Homes of Many of Our Richest Citizens Are Furnished in Execrable Taste.” The critical articles came amply illustrated with photographs of the offending mansions, and the names of the affluent residents were not withheld. The series generated considerable publicity but, interestingly, no lawsuits.”
