"At least two thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity, idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religious or political idols."
--Aldous Huxley

--Blaise Pascal
"Hemingway and Fitzgerald didn't drink ...Expand for more
because they were creative, alienated, or morally weak. They drank because it's what alkies are wired up to do. Creative people probably do run a greater risk of alcoholism and addiction than those in some other jobs, but so what? We all look pretty much the same when we're puking in the gutter."
--Stephen King
"It starts with this: put your desk in the corner, and every time you sit down there to write, remind yourself why it isn't in the middle of the room. Life isn't a support-system for art. It's the other way around."
--Stephen King
"Writing is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way."
--E.L. Doctorow
âWhen we talk about values, I think of rationality in solving problems. Thatâs something I value. Fairness, kindness, generosity, tolerance. When they talk about values, theyâre talking about things like going to church, voting for Bush, being loyal to Jesus, praying. These are not values.â
--Bill Maher
"MAAAATT DAAMON!!"
"You can't ruin a friendship with sex; that's like trying to ruin ice cream with chocolate sprinkles!"
--Raj, Big Bang Theory
"I want to go camping."
"You know what the best part about camping is?"
"What?"
"Fellatio."
"I'm glad we're friends. Lighting things on fire, running from the cops, I feel like we've really bonded over this."
"This is the stuff Spring Breaks are made of."".
