I came across some random quotes and stuff in my notebook, as well as some that I had forgotten to post. Yays. Oh, not all of them are funny, though.

Maglapod:

"It's a long sock story."

"Don't smell up all the molecules. They're my molecules."

Rohrbacher:

"...lion on a cheese grater..."

"No goat does that, throws an apple at another goat. They just back right up."

"How do you teach a young woman about sex? You get raped by a guy in a furry suit."

"God says all sorts of crazy things."

John Moore:

"They community, as communities do, does nothing. They're just a bunch of twerps, like our community."

"You can't judge the quality of a man by his words, because they aren't his own words!"

"There are many patterns in life we have to follow even if we don't believe in them."

"[The Homeric Epics] have been distilled from reality."

"That's what I love about classics! They're dead. Poetry is realer than history. History tells you what happened on an occasion. Poetry tells you what happens again and again. ... You know, you write a poem or carve something, a piece of music, you feel good even if you know the world's going to hell in a handbasket. You did a good thing whatever it was. That's what keeps it alive. We're all in it to make a good obituary of course."

"Why walk yourself when you have a dog?"

"The real essence of tragedy is to go down to the sea and have a picnic."

"Things aren't all so tangible and sayable as people would usually have us believe; most experiences are unsayable, they happen in a space that no word has ever entered, and more unsayable than all other things are works of art, those mysterious existences, whose life endures beyond our small transitory life." ~~ Rainer Maria Rilke, tr. Stephen Mitchell

"Shrill notes begin, the grim violin. Then from the silence a violence of sirens orchestrate the score, to which one more corpse is left quiet. How we've become the hollows of drums, the rest between notes and the hollers than ever reach throats..." ~ "Salty Eyes," The Matches

"Poetry is realer than history. History tells you what happened on an occasion. Poetry tells you what happens again and again." ~ John Moore

Tea: the first sip is joy, the second is gladness, the third is serenity, the fourth is madness, and the fifth is ecstasy.
