Knowledge Is Dangerous And Men Lie And The World Keeps On Changing Whether I Want It To Or Not.

Knowledge is dangerous and men lie and the world keeps on changing whether I want it to or not.

The Knife of Never Letting Go, Page 64; Patrick Ness

Sometimes I forget what I was going to say. Sometimes I remember things everyone else has forgotten for ever and always. Does that ever happen to you?

Delirium, The Sandman: Season of Mists Neil Gaiman

…you can bury stuff under other stuff, you can hide it in plain sight, you just don’t think it clearly or you convince yerself the opposite of what yer hiding is true and then who’s going to be able to pick out from the flood what’s real water and what’s not going to get you wet? Men lie, and they lie to theirselves worst of all.

The Knife of Never Letting Go; Patrick Ness

Will Turner: You ignored the rules of engagement. In a fair fight, I'd kill you. Jack Sparrow: Then that's not much incentive for me to fight fair, now is it?

Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl

If you're going to be crazy, you have to make sure you're getting paid for it or else they'll lock you up.

Hunter S. Thompson

We do not murder. We do not execute. We do not massacre. We never, you may be very certain, we never torture. We have no truck with crimes of passion or hatred or pointless gain. We do not do it for a delight in inhumation, or to feed some secret inner need, or for petty advantage or for some cause or belief; I tell you, gentlemen, that all these reasons are in the highest degree suspect. Look into the face of a man who will kill you for a belief and your nostrils will snuff up the scent of abomination. Hear a speech declaring a holy war and, I assure you, your ears should catch the click of evil's scales and the dragging of its monstrous tail over the purity of the language. No, we do it for the money. And, because we above all must know the value of a human life, we do it for a great deal of money. There can be few cleaner motives, so shorn of all pretence.

Pyramids; Terry Pratchett
