Pessimisms: Famous (and Not So Famous) Observations, Quotations, Thoughts, and Ruminations on What to Expect When You're Expecting the Worst
Pessimisms Famous Observations Quotations Thoughts and Ruminations on What to Expect When You're Expecting the Worst - and Not So Famous
Author: Eric Marcus
Bad things happen to everyone, and this collection provides just the right dose of irreverence to help you laugh at life and all its nasty surprises. Inspired by the author's profoundly pessimistic grandmother, it offers wry, world-weary ruminations on a sampler of life's themes, including: Health ("The only way to keep your health is to eat ...  more »."  ?Mark Twain); Love ("The surest way to be alone is to get married."  ?Gloria Steinem); and Money ("I have enough money to last the rest of my life, unless I buy something."  ?Jackie Mason). Enjoy.

My family had a blast with this book. I bought it for my mom who is in her 80's. She still quotes a few that have stuck in her mind from this collection. It is very funny but also can make you really glad you have never had such a dark outlook about life.
