    We’ve met before, haven’t we?
    I don’t think so. Where was it you think we met?
    At your house. Don’t you remember?
    No. No, I don’t. Are you sure?
    Of course. As a matter of fact, I’m there right now.

    a retort to: “that’s not possible” / “that’s impossible”

    No. It’s necessary.

    … probably not that obscure, but it is a fave. :)

    I don’t think it’s that obscure to people of a certain age, but every time someone orders a salad, my immediate reaction is “You don’t win friends with that!”

    "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."

    “Oh I feel it. I feel the cosmos!”

    I don’t know why that quote in particular is one I quote but its still funny to me.

    • The first one was an actual advertising campaign for Dr Pepper, but considering your other one is from Thundercats, I’m guessing I should read the first one in Johnny 5’s voice.

    “My shoes are too tight, and I’ve forgotten how to dance”

    “The avalanche has started, it’s too late for the pebbles to vote”

    Those might not be %100 right

      If I take a lamp and shine it toward the wall, a bright spot will appear on the wall. The lamp is our search for truth, for understanding. Too often we assume that the light on the wall is God. But the light is not the goal of the search; it is the result of the search. The more intense the search, the brighter the light on the wall. The brighter the light on the wall, the greater the sense of revelation upon seeing it! Similarly, someone who does not search, who does not bring a lantern with him, sees nothing. What we perceive as God, is the byproduct of our search for God. It may simply be an appreciation of the light, pure and unblemished, not understanding that it comes from us. Sometimes we stand in front of the light and assume that we are the center of the universe. God looks astonishingly like we do! Or we turn to look at our shadow, and assume that all is darkness. If we allow ourselves to get in the way, we defeat the purpose; which is to use the light of our search to illuminate the wall in all its beauty… and in all its flaws. And in so doing better understand the world around us.

        Perfect response to that shoes too tight one.

        Cannot quote any better from it.

        … NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR GALAXY!

        ;D

        Oh, oh, or…

        “There’s no shame in the truth”. :)

    “Sorry I smell like piss. You know how it is.”

    !One of many quotable lines from Death to Smoochy, a.k.a. Robin Williams’ most underrated movies.!<
