"I don't like rabbits. They always look like they're about to say something, but they never do." - Raj, on The Big Bang Theory
"It's wabbit season!" "It'th duck theason!" "It's wabbit season!" "It'th duck theason!" - Daffy and Bugs arguing over who Emma Fudd should shoot.
"Reminds me of something my grandfather used to say. He used to say 'I'm going upstairs and fuck your grandmother.' Well, he was an honest guy, you know? He wasn't going to bullshit a 4 year old." - George Carlin
"This is the gift of your species and this is the danger, because you do not choose to control your imaginings. You imagine wonderful things and you imagine terrible things, and you take no responsibility for the choice. You say you have inside you both the power of good and the power of evil, the angel and the devil, but in truth you have just one thing inside you - the ability to imagine." - Sphere by Michael Crichton "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." - The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien (This is a more personal quote so while it doesn't have any ready meaning to a lot of people, it does to me.)
"And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it’s just business, it’s politics, it’s the way of the world, it’s a tough life and that it’s nothing personal. Well, fuck them. Make it personal." ⸺ Quellcrist Falconer (fictional character, quote taken from Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan) And from the same character: "The human eye is a wonderful device. With a little effort, it can fail to see even the most glaring injustice."
We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and — in spite of True Romance magazines — we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely — at least, not all the time — but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness. - Hunter Thompson
"Half ten? I've never been up at half ten! What happens?" "You! What have you been telling her? She thinks I'm the Renaissance! Now I have to go through with all this reclusive genius stuff. She's going to be very upset when she finds out I'm a reclusive wanker." - Bernard Black, of Black Books (paraphrased)
"Went and saw The Post tonight. I watched a film about newspapers inside a movie theater inside of a mall. It was a dying industry turducken." - Tyler Simpson
I imagine I'd be horrified if it was my taxes supporting him, but Phil the Greek is a treasure trove of inappropriate comedy.
Nailed it: "And then, of course, the web became its current dross: Search results gamed by machines to remove any sense of personality, and often value. A huge morass of people trying to thrust advertising brochures at you." - Dan Lyke
“It was the ’70s!,” Jennifer Pryor told TMZ. “Drugs were still good, especially Quaaludes. If you did enough cocaine, you’d fuck a radiator and send it flowers in the morning.” - Richard Pryor's widow, confirming Quincy Jones' claim that Pryor had sex with Marlon Brando
"I don't build in order to have clients, I have clients in order to build." - Ayn Rand "Just do it!" - Shia Labeouf "What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet." - Shakespeare “It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.” - Gabriel García Márquez “There's truths you have to grow into.” - H.G. Wells “When you once see something as false which you have accepted as true, as natural, as human, then you can never go back to it.” - Jiddu Krishnamurti “He is trying to recapture his innocence, yet all he succeeds in doing (by writing) is to inoculate the world with a virus of his disillusionment.” - Henry Miller “Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.” - Ernest Hemingway
Well if it was infinite, it wouldn't be currency, would it? It has value because its finite. But I agree with the message.
"Decency is not news; it is buried in the obituaries — but it is a force stronger than crime." --Robert Heinlein "Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death." --Anais Nin "If we are going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things — praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts — not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They might break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds." --C.S Lewis "We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are." --Disputed I think between them, these quotes sum up my outlook fairly well.
"Just walked out on to the street in San Francisco and screamed "blockchain", but nobody threw money at me. Is this thing played out, or did I do it wrong?" - Dan Lyke
A good burn for those of a literary bent: "I'll debate every claim he made in his tabloid article. Including the claim that he is a writer."
