“If love is the answer, could you rephrase the question?”
― Lily Tomlin, Many Moons

“My little friend Grildrig; you have made a most admirable panegyrick upon your country. You have clearly proved that ignorance, idleness, and vice, are the proper ingredients for qualifying a legislator. That laws are best explained, interpreted, and applied by those whose interest and abilities lie in perverting, confounding, and eluding them. I observe among you, some lines of an institution, which in its original might have been tolerable; but these half erased, and the rest wholly blurred and blotted by corruptions. It doth not appear, from all you have said, how any one perfection is required towards the procurement of any one station among you...I cannot but conclude the bulk of your natives, to be the most pernicious race of little odious vermin that nature ever suffered to crawl upon the surface of the earth.”
― Jonathan Swift, Gulliver’s Travels

“We are puzzle pieces, bragging about being puzzle pieces, rather than being the picture.”
― Tom Althouse, The Frowny Face Cow

“I will say this much for the nobility: that, tyrannical, murderous, rapacious and morally rotten as they were, they were deeply and enthusiastically religous. Nothing could divert them from the regular and faithful performace of the pieties enjoined by the Church.”
― Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

“Like hell he was," said the first C.I.D. man. "I'm the C.I.D. man arround here."
Major Major could barely recognize him because he was wearing a faded maroon corduroy bathrobe with open seams under both arms, linty flannel pajamas, & worn house slippers with one flapping sole.”
― Joseph Heller, Catch-22

“I have been told the best things in life are free ~ I found them very expensive.”
― E.A. Bucchianeri

“It was through this viewer that he got his first reply from Tralfamadore. The reply was written on Earth in huge stones on a plain in what is now England. The ruins of the reply still stand, and are known as Stonehenge. The meaning of Stonehenge in Tralfamadorian, when viewed from above, is: "Replacement part being rushed with all possible speed."

Stonehenge wasn't the only message old Salo had received.

There had been four others, all of them written on Earth.

The Great Wall of China means in Tralfamadorian, when viewed from above: "Be patient. We haven't forgotten about you."

The Golden House of the Roman Emperor Nero meant: "We are doing the best we can."

The meaning of the Moscow Kremlin when it was first walled was: "You will be on your way before you know it."

The meaning of the Palace of the League of Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, is: "Pack up your things and be ready to leave on short notice.”
― Kurt Vonnegut

“World opinion, though sharply divided on nuclear tests and the risk of atmospheric pollution, could congratulate itself on being united in its opposition to cannibalism. No country in the world was prepared to support the custom of eating the dead, though the right of governments to kill people, individually or by hundreds of thousands, was not questioned for a moment.”
― Leonard Wibberley, A Feast of Freedom

“направо мразя ги аз тия същества,
които вечно са заети все с това
да те прегръщат и без срам да се лигавят
и с празни приказки деня си да отравят;”
― �ѴDZ���è����, The Misanthrope

“Каква е ползата такъв да ви ласкае,
готов главата ви с похвали да замае,
да ви изкара най-способен, най-велик,
щом прави същото и с първия мръсник?”
― �ѴDZ���è����, The Misanthrope

“...но няма повече какво тук да се нищи:
цениш ли всичките, то никой не цениш ти!”
― �ѴDZ���è����, The Misanthrope

“...да си в очите на глупаците глупак -
какво по-хубаво, какъв по-верен знак!”
― �ѴDZ���è����, The Misanthrope

“...в ласкателите, в тях е, види се, вината
да има толкова пороци по земята.”
― �ѴDZ���è����, The Misanthrope

“Да, който влюбен е, не спира и тогава -
и недостатъка горещо обожава.”
― �ѴDZ���è����, The Misanthrope

“...че най-добре ще е да гледа Арсиноя
не чуждия живот какъв е, ами своя,
да види себе си по-хубаво, преди
сама над другите присъди да реди;
че трябва най-напред безукорни да бъдем,
а после грешките на другите да съдим,...”
― �ѴDZ���è����, The Misanthrope

“...човекът, дявол да го вземе, си остава
ужасен - все ламти за почести и слава!
На тях е подчинил живота си и днес,
и те са и закон, и доблест тук, и чест!”
― �ѴDZ���è����, The Misanthrope

“Но, честно казано, това не значи край
и аз ще продължа и по-нататък май;
били сме мъдри уж - какво измамно нещо,
в гръдта на всекиго тупти сърце горещо.”
― �ѴDZ���è����, The Misanthrope

“...така от бурите духът ми е сломен,
че вече бяга сам от сладкия ви плен;
не съм достоен да ви искам аз ръката,
не ще го позволят дори небесата,
това ще е за вас един обиден дар, останки от сърце с недогоряла жар...”
― �ѴDZ���è����, The Misanthrope

“When dreaming is better than reality we're living
What's the sense of waking up in a nightmare?”
― Joshua Natad

“Our dream is parallel to the reality
Slumber's one platform for perpendicularity
But it always went contrary to the plan taken
Waking us from sleep to sleep back again”
― Joshua Natad

“There's no such things as sweet as dream
Well maybe if you live on it
But you could live such a sweet life
If you'd just realized how alive your dreams beat”
― Joshua Natad

“Proud," my debut novel is the result of a fevered imagination in galactic overdrive I have been unable to control. All my friends say it is bizarre and ludicrous. Music to my ears.”
― Alastair Carthew, Proud: A tale of rampant ludicrousness

“If you're running rampant, you're on a rampage.
This sums up the craziness of my book, "Proud, a tale of rampant ludicrousness.”
― Alastair Carthew, Proud: A tale of rampant ludicrousness

“That’s right, bud. My personal apocalypse has been going on for a while now, since my name became the grossest fucking meme ever. And what, you think all the Karens of the world just upped and went to their own fucking island somewhere where we could all get bob cuts and drink caramel appletinis all day while calling the cops on imaginary black people? I mean, hello, we still walk among you.”
― Casey Fisher, The Subtle Cause

“You gotta problem with Karens? Well, shit-stache, you just drew the Queen of all fucking Karens! Except I’m not going to demand to speak with your manager. I’m just going to fucking cut you unless you get this rolling fartbox of yours in motion toward the North Cove Yacht Harbor!”
― Casey Fisher, The Subtle Cause

“But for those who spawned them and then forgot them to exist, it seemed there was only one thing that could momentarily draw them away from the kinds of blithe exchanges which he did not doubt carried real-world consequences for real people and other living things that must have existed only in theory in their spreadsheet and accounting ledger minds.”
― Casey Fisher, The Subtle Cause

“I’m actually a big fan of Jesus. It’s his father I disdain. There’s definitely abuse going on in that household ��”
― Casey Fisher, The Subtle Cause
