    What's peoples favourite quotes. They can be from anywhere.

    One of my favourites would have to be...
    ..."In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women!"

    Perhaps not the most insightful or then again perhaps it is. Depends on your perspective I guess.

    One night at Cheers, Cliff Clavin explained the "Buffalo Theory" to his buddy, Norm.
    "Well ya see, Norm, it's like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine ! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers." -- Cliff Clavin

    When the Nazis came for the communists,
    I remained silent;
    I was not a communist.

    When they locked up the social democrats,
    I remained silent;
    I was not a social democrat.

    When they came for the trade unionists,
    I did not speak out;
    I was not a trade unionist.

    When they came for the Jews,
    I remained silent;
    I wasn't a Jew.

    When they came for me,
    there was no one left to speak out

    I should post something deep and meaningful but I do love In the Loop.

    Jamie MacDonald: All right, that's enough with the ****ing Oxbridge pleasantries.
    Toby Wright: Wh... What's Oxbridge about saying hello?
    Jamie MacDonald: SHUT IT, Love Actually! You want me to hole-punch your face?


    Simon Foster: That's not supposed to be out there...
    Malcolm Tucker: Well, it is out there, it's out there now, lurking like a big hairy rapist at a coach station. You know, if I could, I'd punch you into paralysis!



    I always ask everyone eventually if they've seen In the Loop. I'm always disappointed when they haven't.
    In fact watch this.

    "Truth, like all other good things, may be loved unwisely - may be pursued too keenly - may cost too much"

    "“Yes, I could have been a judge but I never had the Latin …, I just never had enough of it to get through the rigorous judging exams. They're noted for their rigour. People came staggering out saying ‘My God, what a rigorous exam’ and so I became a miner instead … all in all I'd rather have been a judge than a miner. And what is more, being a miner, as soon as you are too old and tired and sick and stupid to do the job properly you have to go. Well, the very opposite applies with the judges.”—Peter Cook"

    "When the Lord sent me forth into the world, he forbade me to put off my hat to any man, high or low" - George Fox.

    I'm not a religious person, but this quote has stuck with me since I heard it as a boy. It's not so much that you should somehow disoblige your fellow man, but that you should see yourself as nothing less, or nothing more, than his very equal, and he yours. Or she yours, as it may be.
