I guess this topic must have been there at some time in cellar. Still feel like digging the grave again (Sigh! when will this rain stop<add bored to death smiley here>).
Anyway, my all time fav:

"Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird"

I don't have the source in front of me, so this will be a paraphrase rather than a direct quote.

Here's the exact quote (but I think I actually prefer the essence of it).


"Edklinth had told her: no rings in the water. To raise the matter with the chief of Secretariat might be to chuck a very large stone into a pond."


Larsson, S 2009 The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, Macelhose Press, London, p. 242

Everyone has the right to believe and accept what he or she wants, but reality doesn't discriminate. Reality is not different for different people. Not once has reality excused anyone for good intentions, ignorance, or stubbornness. Reality shows no mercy, accepts no excuses, and issues no pardons. Reality does not "turn the other cheek." This does not mean that reality is cruel, it just means that reality is.--Gary Ryan Blair
