What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

She's so fine. There's no tellin' where the money went

I've never seen him so down. Or ever before.

The pleasures of love are pains that become desirable, where sweetness and torment blend, and so love is voluntary insanity, infernal paradise, and celestial hell -- in short, harmony of opposite yearnings, sorrowful laughter, soft diamond.
-Umberto Eco
Those men who drove those planes into the Empire State Building.

The four most over-rated things in life are champagne, lobster, anal sex and picnics.
-Christopher Hitchens
Modern industrial civilization has developed within a certain system of convenient myths. The driving force of modern industrial civilization has been individual material gain, which is accepted as legitimate, even praiseworthy, on the grounds that private vices yield public benefits, in the classic formulation. Now, it has long been understood, very well, that a society that is based on this principle will destroy itself in time. It can only persist, with whatever suffering and injustice that it entails, as long as it is possible to pretend that the destructive forces that humans create are limited, that the world is an infinite resource, and that the world is an infinite garbage can. At this stage of history either one of two things is possible. Either the general population will take control of its own destiny and will concern itself with community interests, guided by values of solidarity, sympathy and concern for others, or alternatively there will be no destiny for anyone to control...In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than values to be treasured, they may well be essential to survival.

I've been working on a cocktail called Grounds For Divorce.
-Elbow's Guy Garvey
Beauty is truth, truth beauty.
-John Keats
Dancing: The vertical expression of a horizontal desire legalized by music.
-George Bernard Shaw
They say a woman's work is never done. Maybe that's why they get paid less.
-Sean Lock
A fanatic is a man who consciously over compensates a secret doubt.
-Aldous Huxley
A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don't need it.
-Bob Hope
If God is willing to prevent evil, but is not able to
Then He is not omnipotent.
If He is able, but not willing
Then He is malevolent.
If He is both able and willing
Then whence cometh evil?
If He is neither able nor willing
Then why call Him God?
Epicurus (341 BC)
