"That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence" -Christopher Hitchens

 

"Rorschach's Journal. October 12th, 1985: Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll whisper "no."
-Rorschach

"Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast and the taste is... fleeting. So, you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. And if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you got left is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers." - CSM


And everything Douglas Adams ever uttered.

 

"Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is."
-- game of thrones

"When I was a student, women in the generation above me told horror stories about discrimination, then added "But everything has changed. That will never happen to you." I'm told that this was said even by the generations before that, and now my generation is saying similar things to the next one. Of course, a decade or so later we always say "How could we have thought that was equality?" Are we serving the next generation well if we tell them that everything is equal and fair when it's not?"
-- from the book "Delusions of Gender" by Cordelia Fine.
