...and that Dalek in the corner too. They're both wasted. Rants about life, pop-culture and everything from a fuzzball in a galaxy near you.

I've come to the conclusion that people are, basically, ungovernable, and they are untamable. And that's why any governmental delivery system, [..] whatever -ism or -acy you want to use, is rife with problems. Why? The paperwork is fine. It's because there's people involved. And people aren't bad, they just have a ton of ideas all at once. So WE shall not overcome. YOU, on the other hand, can overcome. And YOU can inspire someone else to overcome.

Henry Rollins, Critical Conversations, 2016

Forget any ideas you've got about lost cities, exotic travel, and digging up the world. We do not follow maps to buried treasure, and "X" never, ever, marks the spot.

Mi sembra che l'unico tra noi due che sta facendo uno sforzo per evitare che io ti meni sono sempre io, la stessa persona che poi prima o poi ti menerà.

You end up making good stuff by making a bunch of bad stuff, which is why everybody who's blocked, the reason they're blocked is because they are committing the cardinal sin of assuming their job is to make something good. You'll never make that. Your definition of good will change as you get better. It will always be something you're not capable of. Whereas you know you can make something that sucks. You live in terror of it. So, do that. You're also a very critical person. You're very critical of your own work, other people's work. So make something that sucks and then criticize it, and fix it. That is a much better way to get something done than this idea that, you know, you're gonna use your brain, which is so special, you're gonna make all the right choices 'cause you're such a great, great person.

Dan Harmon, 2016

I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them. Someone should write a song about that.

Exactly what I'm worried about

George: What if the pilot gets picked up and it becomes a series?

Therapist: That'd be wonderful, George. You'll be rich and successful.

George: Yeah, exactly what I'm worried about. God would never let me be successful. He'd kill me first. He'll never let me be happy.

Therapist: I thought you didn't believe in God.

George: I do for the bad things.

Nihilists. Fuck me. I mean, say what you want about the tenets of national socialism, Dude. At least it's an ethos.

How's life treating you, Norm?

Coach: How's life treating you, Norm?

Norm: He caught me in bed with his wife.

Sorry, Bubbs. Shame ain't worth as much as you think. Let it go.

Is there anything more American than standing firm and resolute in the face of rational thought? I think not.

Sounds rather amusing

Alexander: This is a lovely day, isn't it?

Jill: Yes...

Alexander: Yes, well that takes care of that. Let's forget it. Do I bore you?

Jill: No, on the contrary.

Alexander: Let me warn you that I say what I think. I'm a complete individualist.

Jill: Really?

Alexander: I'm against communism, capitalism, fascism, nazism. I'm against everything and everybody. I hate my fellow man, and he hates me.

Jill: It sounds rather amusing.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

Empire had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings.

If you get hung up on words, then you're gonna let a lot of evil motherfuckers slip through. Because evil people learn the correct terms very quickly.

I think the thing I admire the most about the Chinese is that they’re hanging in there with the chopsticks. Because if you think about it, you know they’ve seen the fork, by now.

By definition, alternative medicine, has either not been proved to work or been proved not to work. Do you know what they call alternative medicine that's been proved to work? Medicine.

Friend: Hey, I hear Caitlin's marrying an Asian drum major.

Randal: Design major.

Dante: Can we not talk about this?

Friend: Fine by me. But you're living in denial and suppressing rage, motherfucker.
