"...somewhere, somehow, they all got chewed up and spit back out. They don't taste like living anymore. Don't you see what it's like in this deranged whirring blender of a world? Every day is an agonizing ordeal, like balancing a pot of scolding water on your head while people whip your legs and butt. Aah.. you'll never forget your senior prom.... Ya think I'm sick? Well the only disease I've got is modern life. A shnuckbusting gauntlet of inefficiency and misery thats one long parade of let downs, put downs, trickle-downs, shut-outs, freeze outs, sell outs, numb nuts, nincompoops, and nimrods! All making every day as much fun as waxing a flaming pontiac with your tongue. Or even if you do luck into the possibility of some fleeting pleasure, like say if some nymphomaniac telephone operators with the muscle control of romanian mat slappers agree to a little strip air hockey, it'll be over before it starts, cause some vowel lacking, fetta reeking cab jockey slams his checker up your hatchback and the cab is owned by some pinata spanker from a santaria cult in woncompa who starts shaking chicken bones at ya and gives you a boil on your neck so big all it needs is michael jordans autograph to make it complete! And even with all this, WITH ALL THIS, I still drag my sorry butt off the ceiling every morning and stick my face in the reaping machine for one more day, knowing when it's time to flash the cosmic car key at those pearly gates, I won't be in a coffin anyway, cause some underhanded undertaker sold my heart, pancreas and other assorted good and plenty to that same santaria cult! SO DOES ANYBODY REALLY WONDER WHY ANYBODY IS HANGING ON TO SANITY BY THE ATOMS ON THE TIPS OF THEIR FINGERNAILS, WHILE LIFE DIRTY DANCES ON THEIR DIGITS? AND IS IT REALLY ANY WONDER, THAT I SEEM DERANGED!?"~Eckels, AGN forrums
"It bothers me when I open up my true desires and wishes for existence to believers, and they tell me to watch out because I am saying the same exact things that Lucifer once said. I've realized that I naturally, and not by any kind of choice, agree with everything that this Satan character believes and has done. Some people might say that makes me a Satanist, but I don't consider myself so, because I don't even believe in Satan. I'm just referring to the character. It is strange that I would find myself agreeing with the one entity which I was raised to find as my enemy. If God and Satan are real, then I have realized that all suffering comes from God (according to the Bible, God is the one who created the physical and mental suffering you feel, God created Hell, God created the ability to murder, God created blood, God created viruses, God created sex in a way that it could be abused, and God created evil.) All that is evil comes from God, and I think that Satan realized this and wanted to rebel against God before He could impose his ways on other living souls, and apparantly 1/3 of creation agreed with him. I'm willing to bet that the other 1/3 were too scared to oppose God, or remained neutral. Then by God's "might which makes right," Satan was doomed to Hell along with anyone who followed him. Satan has never inflicted any harm on anyone. It is always God who inflicts harm on people. God put the curses on the Egyptians, God turned Lot's wife to salt, God let Israel's neighbors plunder it, and God's earth kills people via famine, pestilance, earthquakes, hurricanes, and flooding."~Glen, AGN forrums

"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices - to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own - for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone."~Rod Serling
"infinite: Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than, in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real 'wow, that's big' time. Infinity is just so big that by comparison, bigness itself looks really titchy. Gigantic multiplied by collosal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we're trying to get across here."~The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy
"The Universe: some information to help you live in it.
1. Area: Infinite
2. Imports: None. It is impossible to import things into an infinite area, there being no outside to import things from.
3. Exports: None. See Imports.
4. Population: None. it is known there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefor there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is so near zero as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe is zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you happen to meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.
5. Monetary Units: None. In fact there are three freely convertable currencies in the Galaxy, but none of them count. The Altarian Dollar has recently collapsed, the Flanian Pobble Bead is only exchangeable for other Flanian Pobble Beads, and the Triganic Pu has itw own special problems. Its exchange rate of eight Ningis to one Pu is simple enough, but since a Ningi is a triangular rubber coin six-thousand-eight-hundred miles along each side no one has ever collected enough to own one Pu. Ningis are not negotiable currency because Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change. From this basic premis it is very simple to prove that Galactibanks are also the product of a deranged imagination.
6. Art: None The function of art is to hold up a mirror to nature, and there simply isn't a mirror big enough, see point one.
7. Sex: None Actually there is quite an awful lot of this, largely because of the total lack of money, trade, art or anything else that might keep the nonexistant people of the Universe occupied. However, it is not worth embarking on a long discussion of it now because it really is terribly complicated" ~ The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams
"There is a theory which states if anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and by replaced by something even more bizare and inexplicable.

"A towel is about the most massively useful thing an intersteller hitchiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marbel-sanded beaches of Santragius V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand combat; wrap it round your head to ward off fumes or avoid the gave of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a brush, but very very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.
More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason if a strag (strag: nonhitchiker) discovers that a hitchiker has a towel, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, washcloth, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit, etc., etc. Furthermore he will happily lend the hitchiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchiker may have accidently have "lost." What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of teh Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with." ~ The Hitchkers Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams

"Why of course the people don't want war ... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."~ Hermann Goering, vice-Fuhr, at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II

"the following poem is made from real quotes from speaches by George W. Bush:
MAKE THE PIE HIGHER
by George W. Bush
I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen and uncertainty
and potential mental losses.
Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the internet
become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?
They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope,
where our wings take dream.
Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize Society!
Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!"
That's all I can think of now. Rest assured I will think of more later and when I do I will put them on.
