Nick Offerman
“What exactly was Jesus’ take on violent capitalism? I also have some big ideas for changing the way we think about literary morals as they pertain to legislation. Rather than suffer another attempt by the religious right to base our legalese upon the Bible, I would vote that we found it squarely upon the writings of J. R. R. Tolkien. The citizens of Middle Earth had much more tolerant policies in their governing bodies. For example, Elrond was chosen to lead the elves at Rivendell not only despite his androgynous nature but most likely because of the magical leadership inherent in a well-appointed bisexual elf wizard. That’s the person you want picking shit out for your community. That’s the guy you want in charge. David Bowie or a Mormon? Not a difficult equation.”
Nick Offerman, Paddle Your Own Canoe: One Man's Principles for Delicious Living

Nick Hornby
“I read the fuck out of every book I can get my hands on.”
Nick Hornby, A Long Way Down

“That is the motto women should constantly repeat over and over again. Good for her! Not for me.”
Amy Poehler, Yes Please

“Do your thing and don't care if they like it.”
Tina Fey, Bossypants

David Foster Wallace
“That sometimes human beings have to just sit in one place and, like, hurt. That you will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do. That there is such a thing as raw, unalloyed, agendaless kindness. That it is possible to fall asleep during an anxiety attack. That concentrating on anything is very hard work.”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest
