"Barker: Pardon me, pardon me, President, my sympathies are with no nation. You misunderstand, I think, the modern intellect. [...] We moderns believe in a great cosmopolitan civilisation, one which shall include all the talents of all the absorbed peoples -- Del Fuego: The Seňor will forgive me. May I ask the Seňor how, under ordinary circumstances, he catches a wild horse? Barker: I never catch a wild horse. Del Fuego: Precisely, and there ends your absorption of the talents. That is what I complain of your cosmopolitanism. When you say you want all peoples to unite, you really mean that you want all peoples to unite to learn the tricks of your people. If the Bedouin Arab does not know how to read, some English missionary or schoolmaster must be sent to teach him to read, but no one ever says, 'This schoolmaster does not know how to ride on a camel; let us pay a Bedouin to teach him.' You say your civilisation will include all talents. Will it? Do you really mean to say that at the moment when the Esquimaux has learnt to vote for a County Council, you will have learnt to spear a walrus?"

- The Napoleon of Notting Hill by G. K. Chesterton

"Should a 400 lb man advise us on the evils of over-consumption? Should the resident of a million-dollar apartment claim to be a poster boy of the working class?

- The official Michael Moore Hatedom site.

"Robert: I'll tell you what I've found to be the key to a great marriage. Raymond: Says the man who married a stripper, then divorced a stripper, then married a regular person, then hung in there for three whole months?"

- Everybody Loves Raymond

"How is it that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of Negroes?"

- Samuel Johnson

"You have a strange sense of nobility, Captain. You'll lay a man out for implying that I'm a whore, but you keep calling me one to my face."

- Inara, Firefly

"Well, when I see the NGOs themselves in sackcloth and ashes, then I might put some truck by what they're saying. I was in Cancun in December, and they were all staying in five star hotels at the highest end resort in Cancun, with beautiful restaurants and palm trees swaying. I was amazed at this. That was 12,000 NGOs – not counting the bureaucrats. There tens of thousands more bureaucrats. And there are four of five of these conferences a year. Yet here they are telling us we all must stop flying..."

- Patrick Moore, former President of Greenpeace Canada, former Director of Greenpeace International, now "The Sensible Environmentalist" and author of Confessions of A Greenpeace Dropout, in the interview to The Register
