You're my go-to guy - I need a report by Friday." You go, "I'll get right on it, chief!" And then you head back to your desk and you put your feet up and you spend the week thinking about it. And then he comes in on Friday and goes, "Where's my report?" And you say, with a big grin on your face, "I didn't do it!" And he goes, "Why not?" View quote

The boys in my grade talked about sex a lot. Some of them even told me that they had sex with their girlfriends. This was the most devastating and traumatizing thing I've ever heard in my life. Boys having sex at my age of Fourteen? I couldn't fathom it. How is it that they were able to have such intimate and pleasurable experiences with girls while I could only fantasize about it? I frequently started asking myself. This was an all-boys school... How in the hell were those boys even able to meet girls to have sex with? I wondered. I hoped they were lying. I hoped against all hope. [...] and one of my obnoxious classmates named Jesse was bragging about having sex with his girlfriend. I defiantly told him that I didn't believe him, so he played a voice recording of what sounded like him and his girlfriend having sex. I could hear a girl saying his name over and over again while she panted franticly. He grinned at me smugly. I felt so inferior to him, and I hated him. View quote

Hell no, it isn't a fact. Only a damned fool would do a thing like that. You know there was a lot of pretty rough ribbing going on on both benches during that Series. When I swung and missed that first one, those Cubs really gave me a blast. So I grinned at 'em and held out one finger and told 'em it'd only take one to hit it. Then there was that second strike and they let me have it again. So I held up that finger again and I said I still had that one left. Naw, keed, you know damned well I wasn't pointin' anywhere. If I'd have done that, Root would have stuck the ball right in my ear. And besides that, I never knew anybody who could tell you ahead of time where he was going to hit a baseball. When I get to be that kind of fool, they`ll put me in the booby hatch. View quote

Wait,” Foyle commanded. He looked at the beaming grin engraved in the steel robot face. "But society can be so stupid. So confused. You've witnessed this conference.” "Yes, sir, but you must teach, not dictate. You must teach society.” "To space-jaunte? Why? Why reach out to the stars and galaxies? What for?” "Because you're alive, sir. You might as well ask: Why is life? Don't ask about it. Live it.” "Quite mad,” Dagenham muttered. "But fascinating,” Y'ang-Yeovil murmured. "There's got to be more to life than just living,” Foyle said to the robot. "Then find it for yourself, sir. Don't ask the world to stop moving because you have doubts.” "Why can't we all move forward together?” "Because you're all different. You're not lemmings. Some must lead, and hope that the rest will follow.” "Who leads?” "The men who must ... driven men, compelled men.” "Freak men.” "You're all freaks, sir. But you always have been freaks.
