"i bet she bangs like a ferret on acid"
"My nipples are not funny!"

"This guy takes a blunt object, fkin', WAAAH! Hits the guy with the bandages around his head, right? Why? 'Cause he's smart. He knows the guy with the bandages around his ass, he ain't goin' nowhere. He's goin' fkin' nowhere. "

"Love of one's country is not a cause" - Lord Annan (I think)

"Patriotism is the belief that your country is superior, purely because you were born there" - Can't remember... But it was along those lines.

An old boss of mine at a large staff meeting, 1 of the staff was giving it the what if this, what if that and getting quite silly really, well the boss listened intently for a while and then said; "Well if my granny had had balls she would have been my grandad" I thought it was class,

The quote is by George Bernard Shaw

“Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.”

But I prefer this one:

“I can train a monkey to wave an American flag. That does not make the monkey patriotic.”

This one seems appropriate at the moment:

"Only your eyes are unclosed to see the black and folded town fast, and slow,
asleep."

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children...

This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."

"It used to be enough that when I came home angry and knowing that my life wasn't toeing my five-year plan, I could clean my condominium or detail my car. Someday I'd be dead without a scar and there would be a really nice condo and car."

The Japanese have a word for it. It's Judo, the art of conquering by yielding. The western equivalent of judo is, 'Yes, dear.'

Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend- Albert Camus.

The greatest oak was once a little nut who held its ground.

Silence is golden but duct tape is silver.

MY GOD MAN, YOU'RE DENSE!! YOU'RE AS DENSE AS AN OGRE! DENSE AS LEAD! IF A TACK IS SHARP, YOU'RE THE THING FARTHEST FROM IT!- Shigure Sohma, Fruits Basket.

This is how it starts and then it escalates. It gets on the telly and in the press, and then other fans from other clubs start trying to out do each other. And then it becomes about hate! And then it's nothing to do with football any more! It's about gangs and scumbags like you roaming the country seeing who can cause the most trouble. And then we overreact, and we have to put up perimeter fences and we treat the fans like animals! Forty, fifty thousand people herded into pens! And then how long before something happens, eh? How long before something terrible happens and we are dragging bodies out?- Life on Mars

Contraceptives should be used on every conceivable occasion

All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy

How long was I in the army? Five foot eleven

I'm not afraid of dying I just don't want to be there when it happens

The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet not withstanding, go out and meet it.
