“Every time a supermodel divorces her rock-star husband, the Beta Male secretly rejoices (or more accurately, feels great waves of unjustified hope), and every time a beautiful movie star marries, the Beta Male experiences a sense of lost opportunity. The entire city of Las Vegas—plastic opulence, treasure for the taking, vulgar towers, and cocktail waitresses with improbable breasts—is built on the self-delusion of the Beta Male.”
― Christopher Moore, A Dirty Job

“Everyone is happier if they have someone to look down on, as well as someone to look up to, especially if they resent both. This is not only the Beta Male strategy for survival, but the basis for capitalism, democracy, and most religions.”

“All college students are being asked to sign an official statement to the effect that they “sympathize with the Germans and approve of the New Order.” Eighty percent have decided to obey the dictates of their conscience, but the penalty will be severe. Any student refusing to sign will be sent to a German labor camp. What’s to become of the youth of our country if they’ve all got to do hard labor in Germany?”
― Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl

“Why do you call this dog Mohammed?” asked the bearded man. “Because that’s his name.” “You should not have called this dog Mohammed.” “I didn’t call the dog Mohammed,” Charlie said. “His name was Mohammed when I got him. It was on his collar.” “It is blasphemy to call a dog Mohammed.” “I tried calling him something else, but he doesn’t listen. Watch. Steve, bite this man’s leg? See, nothing. Spot, bite off this man’s leg. Nothing. I might as well be speaking Farsi. You see where I’m going with this?” “Well, I have named my dog Jesus. How do you feel about that?” “Well, then I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you’d lost your dog.” “I have not lost my dog.” “Really? I saw these flyers all over town with ‘Have You Found Jesus?’ on them. It must be another dog named Jesus. Was there a reward? A reward helps, you know.” Charlie”
― Christopher Moore, A Dirty Job
