Dylan Moran quotes - page 10

Why would anybody want to go skiing ? You could sit in the comfort of you own kitchen and break your knees with a hammer. What is the human impulse ? What's wrong with these people ? I think it's because they're so closeted, their lives are so comfortable, they actually seek out danger as a pastime. If you're poor, you don't go and look for danger ‘cause you're surrounded by it. Your accommodation is dangerous, your neighbours are dangerous. Your own family are pretty handy. You probably have a couple of moves yourself. Your dinner can fucking kill you anyway so you don't have to go and look for danger. (Dylan Moran)
You know what you think, you know where you are on the spectrum... You're Left or you're Right really, that's it. And if you're left-wing, you're boring. That's the truth. Nobody wants to hang around with you, you're very dull. You're the voice of conscience, y'know the one saying: "Now look. Put it down, we should all be nice to one another. Let's try and not eat everything today.” Very dull voice... The right-wing... Cruel? Yes. Vicious? Certainly. But honest. Not a sophisticated philosophy, it just says: "What is this? Do we fuck it or eat it? Let's try half and half.”... Now you might be liberal! You could be, I forgot. You could be one of those thoughtful, troublesome people. People who say: "Well things are actually a little bit like this AND a little bit like that. Soooo, let's do whatever you say.” If you're liberal, you have no purpose. You are the thing in your kitchen you never use. Something you bought once, while you were out at a market feeling frisky. View quote
