“Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.”
Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time

George Carlin
“The reason I talk to myself is because I’m the only one whose answers I accept.”
George Carlin

Charles Bukowski

“I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone equally. ”
W.C. Fields
