""The most pressing analogy I hold to heart is how Britain stands with mouth a-gawp as it gets progressively fatter and iller, yet remains defiantly opposed to designing streets that people feel safe to ride bicycles on, and continues to let its populated areas be designed in the image of nutritionally-vacuous, big-brand food and drink. As waistlines expand, obesity becomes 'normalised', and solutions drift further and further outside society's collective imagination.""

""The NFL, Price is Right, WWE, most major TV networks across the nation are "going pink" to "spread awareness." Horseshit. You give no fucks about helping victims of breast cancer, you just make it seem like you do. You go pink for October, and then...NOTHING. Not a single mention of it until the following year. All you give a fuck about is how your company is viewed. You want to be "hip" and "cool." You're not. Ironically, by saying you care for a while, and then not care for the rest of the time, shows you really don't care at all. You'd be better off not taking a stance on it at all.""

"''"My five-year-old son just got a trophy for soccer. I was as pleased as any father could be, and I pulled him on my lap, and praised him. Then I figured out everyone got a trophy. All my praise turned to lies in my mouth. I could not unsay what I had just said to a five-year-old. I could not tell him that this trophy was meaningless. ''I could not tell him to try his best, either, because the reward was the same for his best as for his worst. ''My other son quit the team before the season ended, and the coach wanted to give him a trophy in any case. I was revolted by the idea, deeply offended. They are trying to make my sons into little, weak, selfish, puling nonentities: boys who will cry if they do not get the same reward for hard work as for goofing off. Boys who will grow up to think life is unfair unless they are handed everything they never earned on a silver platter. I cannot regard this attempt with anything but a deep mistrust, bordering on hatred. Who are these people, and what do they have against my boys? Why are they trying to spoil them?""

- Weiss to Ruby, RWBY (The Emerald Forest)

""When many of us sit down and play titles that come out of Japan, we are specifically playing them because they are nothing like what we can get here. They often touch on subjects which are considered taboo to some western audiences, or tackle subject matter that others are afraid to tread through. We don't play Japanese games [...] because they are representative of our western cultural values, we play them because they aren't. They allow us to grow by experiencing fiction and fun from the point of view of an entirely different culture, and we learn a new form of appreciation for the world through it.""

""[The Canadian radio industry] frustrates me so much. I want to see it flourish, I want to hear great material being produced by quality radio hosts, but instead it’s amateur hour all throughout the country as the corporations slash budgets and hire people fresh out of school (or who never even went to school) who aren’t ready to be in front of the mic in markets that should only be hiring seasoned veterans…""

- A Dose of Buckley, Radio Hypocrisy

""[...] [T]he film went above and beyond the typical aspects of propaganda with its overbearing self-importance and pomposity, acting as if FIFA single-handedly saved the human race from extinction and is thus the hero of humanity that deserves endless praise and glory. It was like a cry for help masquerading as a shiny medal of honor; a film functioning as a massive ego-boost first and propaganda second.""

''Because Rune Zhevitz was death incarnate... and my dearly departed sister.""

- Rosalyn to Tom, on his spontaneous comment that "people are stars", Starswirl Academy

"(About the "drinking game") Rosalyn: This is precisely what my issue with this ridiculous façade is. It's like cheating! People are made to give up their privacy at the draw of a card, and it's not fair. That's just modern society summed up, isn't it? Every detail of one's life is out in the open for anybody to peer in at. Annabel-Jean: Well I'm glad this turned into a social commentary, I was worried for a minute we were gonna have some fun..."
