"Everyone only gets to live life one time.  I only get it once.  This is my life.  I can't entrust it to someone.  I can't steal a new one.  I can't force it on others.  I can't forget it or erase it.  I can't stomp over it, laugh it off, or beautify it.  I can't anything.  I'd have to accept my one shot at life no matter how cruel or merciless or unfair I thought it was.  Don't you understand?  That is why I must fight.  I must keep on fighting, because I can never accept that kind of life."  - Yurippe, Angel Beats!

It's true I did, but here's the thing: I'm a criminal and a liar and I hurt people and I rob them. What did you expect me to do? Not be what I am? I saw an opportunity to turn things to my advantage and I did. Who you're really mad at is yourself. This is on you, Barry.

-Leonard Snart (Cpatain Cold)

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

[Banya]

"Puns are little plays on words that a certain breed of person loves to spring on you and then look at you in a certain self-satisfied way to indicate that he thinks that you must think that he is by far the cleverest person on Earth now that Benjamin Franklin is dead, when in fact what you are thinking is that if this person ever ends up in a lifeboat, the other passengers will hurl him overboard by the end of the first day even if they have plenty of food and water." – Dave Barry

Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby." – H. L. Mencken, Notes on Journalism
