Dan’s Quotes

“The aim of the joke is not to degrade the human being, but to remind him that he is already degraded.”
― George Orwell

“The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason.”
― Hunter S. Thompson, Generation of Swine: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the '80's
