Christopher Hitchens  - Quotes

 Hitch: making rules about drinking can be the sign of an alcoholic,' as Martin Amis once teasingly said to me. (Adorno would have savored that, as well.) Of course, watching the clock for the start-time is probably a bad sign, but here are some simple pieces of advice for the young. Don't drink on an empty stomach: the main point of the refreshment is the enhancement of food. Don't drink if you have the blues: it's a junk cure. Drink when you are in a good mood. Cheap booze is a false economy. It's not true that you shouldn't drink alone: these can be the happiest glasses you ever drain. Hangovers are another bad sign, and you should not expect to be believed if you take refuge in saying you can't properly remember last night. (If you really don't remember, that's an even worse sign.) Avoid all narcotics: these make you more boring rather than less and are not designed

 He smiles at me, and I am suddenly seventeen again - the year I realize that love doesn't follow the rules, the year I understood that nothing is worth having so much as something unattainable

Ashton Kutcher  - Quotes

 [On filming sex scenes] You sort of try to set some ground rules. I think it was Sir Laurence Olivier who said 'I apologize if I get aroused and I apologize if I do not get aroused'. There's always that awkward state of 'Is this okay? Is that okay?' In between it's just like "Let's act like nothing happened'. Then you see how good an actor you really are.

The Young Victoria  - Quotes

 Princess Victoria:
Do you ever feel like a chess piece yourself? In a game being played against your will.
Prince Albert:
Do you?
Princess Victoria:
Constantly. I see them leaning in and moving me around the board.
Prince Albert:
The Duchess and Sir John?
Princess Victoria:
Not just them. Uncle Leopold. The king. I'm sure half the politicians are ready to seize hold of my skirts and drag me from square to square.
Prince Albert:
Then you had better master the rules of the game until you play it better than they can.
Princess Victoria:
You don't recommend I find a husband to play it for me?
Prince Albert:
I should find one to play it with you, not for you.

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed  - Quotes

 Stephen C. Meyer:
We don't know what caused life to arise. Did it arise by purely undirected process? Or did it arise by some kind of intelligent guidance or design? And the rules of science are being applied to actually foreclose one of the two possible answers that very basic, and fundamental, and important question.

You're just acting like a big baby 'cause you miss your mother's bosoms.
Leonard:

Lexie Littleton:
Her bosoms, you goof! You're substituting *my* bosoms for your mother's.

Leonard:
I didn't come over her to be insulted.
Lexie Littleton:
No? Where do you usually go?

Neo:
I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid... you're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you.

Douglas Adams  - Quotes

 The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

Thucydides  - Quotes

 Some legislators only wish to vengeance against a particular enemy. Others only look out for themselves. They devote very little time on the consideration of any public issue. They think that no harm will come from their neglect. They act as if it is always the business of somebody else to look after this or that. When this selfish notion is entertained by all, the commonwealth slowly begins to decay.
