{{quote|''"The real saying is 'If the wind blows, the bucket maker has good sales.' Which means that sneezing is proof of you being cursed by someone. In order to get rid of that curse, you need to obtain a straw doll. Additionally, you need long nails, which in turn leads to a lot of business for nail makers, causing a supply shortage. As a result, construction of houses becomes almost impossible, and everybody has to live in pit-like dwellings. That in turn leads to less wood being used, and less forests being cut down. Because the forests are being protected, the CO2 levels are reduced, and everybody is happy because of an environmentally responsible lifestyle."''|'''Yuuki''' from ''[[Kanamemo]]''}}

 

 

{{quote|''"I'm not like some video game that you can just play with. You can't button mash and fiddle with my analog and not expect to get a reaction. A Special Move type of reaction, baby. A console is worthless without games to play on it. That's how I feel about us. I'm a game system and you're my Halo. And... my feelings for you are like... a memory card... And I no longer have any clue whatsoever what I'm talking about."''|[http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20031222 Ethan], [[Ctrl+Alt+Del]]}}

 

{{quote|'''Bob:''' I dunno about this, George.. I don't know the first thing about what goes on in a television station.

 

{{quote|"You seem bent on spending your last moments in this world with your thumbs jammed into the thumbscrews of guilt, and turning them as hard as you can...which is impossible, I realize...but that analogy had a lot more promise when I started this sentence, and it seemed likely to end with a witty bon mot about [[Screw Yourself|screwing yourself]]. That didn't work out, did it? Nothing has, today."|Prince Tramennis, '''[[Erfworld]]'''}}

{{quote|"If we can hit the bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate."|'''Zapp Brannigan''', ''[[Futurama]]''}}

{{quote|'''THJ:'''"''For you see, The Bible does hold metaphors to be a dreadful abomination. They are described in Leviticus 15:22 as a dark plague-cloud over the sky of justice. Metaphors are a burglar hiding in the shadows, a tiger crouching in the bush. They are a communicable disease, if you will, one that atrophies both mind and body irreversibly, and we must wash our hands clean of them before we are infected with their poisons.''

 

Whose heart joins with mine

Aortas and arteries all intertwined

Than they could apart

Eight chambers of muscle to hustle

 

{{quote|''"To me, the difference between Godhead and the Church is the difference between Elvis and Colonel Parker... although that conjures images of God dying on the toilet, which is not what I meant at all."''|'''[[Alan Moore]]'''}}
