Nick Offerman
“As The Book of the SubGenius (the main text of a hilarious faux religion based in Dallas—get The Book of the SubGenius) says, “Fuck ’em if they can’t take a joke,” right?”
Nick Offerman, Paddle Your Own Canoe: One Man's Principles for Delicious Living

Nick Offerman
“For candidates to achieve any high office in our state or federal legislature, they are required to make loud, ambitious public promises during their campaigns, which can never be completely fulfilled, even by the greatest humanitarian intentions. Therefore, we’re starting off our relationship with each prospective leader on the wrong foot, a foot of mistrust.”
Nick Offerman, Gumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America's Gutsiest Troublemakers

“Whole dimensions lie glistening on the dark side of even the most dull and commonplace thought.”
Mark Booth, The Secret History of the World

Nick Offerman
“It’s amazing, the wool the people in power of any nation will try to pull over the eyes of the citizens if there’s a buck to be made. Unfortunately, human nature seems to allow this to occur regularly, out of laziness and ignorance. – Gumption”
Nick Offerman, Gumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America's Gutsiest Troublemakers

Nick Offerman
“Consider Herbert A. Simon, a right sharp scientific thinker, who did his thinking most frequently at Carnegie Mellon, by which I mean this chap was smart as shit. Check out some of his smart-thinks: “In an information-rich world, the wealth of information means a dearth of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes. What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.” A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention. Slogan-worthy.”
Nick Offerman, Gumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America's Gutsiest Troublemakers
