Quote repository:

"I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos is come again." -- River Tam on Firefly about feeling better thanks to brain medication

from ursulav's dream about a film noir story starring a robot - "His grandmother had once gotten drunk and calculated the value of pi out to 800 digits. She hadn't liked any of them."

"Mania was created for the man seeking a discreet, elegant, and classic signature scent. The classical freshness of Mania is built around a sensual amber-woody accord that brings to mind warm fabrics such as cashmere, flannel, and wool. Notes:Green Mandarin, Saffron, Cedar, Vetiver, Amber, Musk. Style:Fresh. Magnetic. Sensual." - press blurb from Armani

"Calm comes through abandoning reason to commune with nature."

"I'm only good at a couple of things, and I make sure I do them a lot!" -- Michael Soldier, licensed massage therapist, drag porn rock star and award-winning gay porn star

"He took the lower road, and so did I." -- Kelli Willis, singer, in "Parallel Bars" by Robbie Fulks

"I am the delivery man of human love, and I will leave an extra portion."

"...you run when you ought to deal, you deal when you ought to fight and you fight when you ought to run" - Badger to Mal

"I have experienced a deathbed conversion - I just bought a Macintosh." - Randy Pausch in his Last Lecture

"Well, I'm not exactly quaking in my stylish-yet-affordable boots, but there's definitely something unnatural going on here, and that doesn't usually lead to hugs and puppies." - Buffy Summers from "Once More, With Feeling"

"Burghers sometimes refer to their town as 'the Burgh.' For the 'ow' sound in words they say something which I have tried to render here with a short o, as in 'donton longe,' but which is more precisely, to take the case of 'town,' a blend of 'tehn,' 'tahn,' and 'tan.' It falls somewhere in between the Boston version of the short a and the East Tennessee version of the long i. The Pittsburgh accent is unique." -- Roy Blount, Jr. in About Three Bricks Shy of a Load
