Known Quotes

"Literature always anticipates life. It does not copy life but molds it to its purpose. The nineteenth century, as we know it is largely an invention by Balzac."

― Oscar Wilde, 19th Century Irish poet.

"I have a voice. You understand that? A writer needs a voice and I have one. You don't. Your play panders to the lowest common denominator, Brian. And it doesn't even do that well!"

― Stewie Griffin (Family Guy)

"Allow me to pose you a question, Shou Bun Kun. Just what are laws anyway? Answer me, Shou Bun Kun."
"Laws are to regulate people by... the use of punishment..."
"Ridiculous! Punishment is nothing more than the method and not the true essence of law!"
"T... then, just what is the law then!? Ri Shi!?"
"The law is a wish!! A way to guide both a nation and its people towards the ideal state that one envisions!! After unification... Just what do you hope to happen to all the people living in these lands? How do you wish them to live their lives? What direction do you wish them to take!? Ponder the answer to those questions well!!"

― Ri Shi lecturing Shou Bun Kun on the essence of the law (Kingdom)

"I'm gonna set sail and write a book full of my adventures!"

― Sabo (One Piece)

"To wit, I have found nothing wrong with this remote place, and I must admit it will be with some melancholy I will leave this island and return home. I saw this chick in a bikini on the beach too. She had the nicest boobs ever. Humbly yours, Kenneth."

― Kenny McCormick (South Park)
