Mister Ashleigh Brilliant

His real name, just so you know, is not Ashleigh Brilliant. It's Ashleigh Elwood Brilliant. He has a strange and wondrous mind. Don't tell him I'm quoting him, he's extremely touchy about copyright infringement. On the other hand, these words and their illustrations were published in book form twenty years ago. I don't even know if the man is still alive or not.[0]

"Life is an incurable condition. The only known treatment is to try to keep the patient comfortable."

"By accepting you as you are, I do not necessarily abandon all hope of your imroving."

"Wonderful! You have some of my favorite problems."

"Anybody who tries to get between me and my work has a good chance of succeeding."

[0] he is alive, there was a really cool article about him in the newspaper today. :) marina
