Asshole Quotes - page 3

What people do isn't determined by where they live. It happens to be their damned fault. They decided to watch TV instead of thinking when they were in high school. They decided to blow-off courses and drink beer instead of reading and trying to learn something. They decided to chicken out and be intolerant bastards instead of being openminded and, finally, they decided to go along with their buddies and do things that were terribly wrong when there was no reason they had to. Anyone who hurts someone else decides to hurt them, goes out of their way to do it.... The fact that it's hard to be a good person doesn't excuse going along and being an asshole. If they can't overcome their own fear of being unusual, it's not my fault, because any idiot ought to be able to see that if he just acts reasonably and makes a point of not hurting others, he'll be happier. (Neal Stephenson)
Remember how, back in 1990, if you used a cellphone in public you looked like a total asshole? We're all assholes now. View quote
Douglas Coupland
Everything in Los Angeles is too large, too loud and usually banal in concept... The plastic asshole of the world. View quote
William Faulkner
All of a sudden, I'm thinking, these guys [Afghani men] aren't so bad. I'm like the type of asshole where if you're nice to me once, I'm your friend for life. Sure, you hacked your kid's clit off, but you were nice! View quote
Kathy Griffin
I can't stand that asshole Ryan Seacrest and here's why. He can't sing. He can't dance. He has no talent. When is he gonna go away? View quote
Kathy Griffin
He and Don came up to the corpse of the German truck. The scrounger who'd been messing around there was gone. "Who's that asshole gonna sell his scrap to?" Charlie said. "Us- you wait and see. We're dumb enough to pay good money to put these mothers back on their feet now that we stomped 'em." "Yeah, that's like us, all right," Dom agreed. "We-" The truck blew up. Next thing Charlie knew, he was sprawled on the ground a surprisingly long way from the road. Dom- no, a piece of Dom- lay not far away. Charlie tried to reach out. His arm didn't want to work. WHen he looked down at what was left of himself, he understood why. It didn't hurt. Then, all at once, it did. His shriek bubbled through the blood filling his mouth. Mercifully, blackness enfolded him. View quote
Harry Turtledove
New York Times... Asshole, asshole. You cannot even criticize your own mistake. Invading a country, making up excuses before the world that is not true, then you have the gall to say stop. You better stop your publishing. View quote
Rodrigo Duterte
This guy should have been taken out of the croc pen, had his kids taken from him, and been thrown in the deepest, darkest, dankest pit the Australian judicial system has to offer. Preferably after being skinned alive. Asshole is too good a word. (2006) View quote
John Byrne
Okay, time for me to rain on this parade. I didn't know he had kids. Young kids. This alters the mix considerably. This makes him an asshole. Cops and firemen, to name but two, place their lives on the line every day to protect others. There was nothing Steve Irwin was doing that he could not have done-as did, say, David Attenborough-without putting his life at risk. This takes this from tragedy to stupidity, and, worse, irresponsibility. View quote
John Byrne
I am glad this asshole is dead. Sorry for his wife and kids, but relieved they are in no further danger from his lunacy! View quote
John Byrne
The asshole doesn't need to be ashamed of being the asshole. The feet don't have any reason to go on strike just because they're only feet. The head isn't the most important of all, and the navel doesn't need to imagine he's the father of all things. It's strange though that people look at the prime minister as an especially important person. The nose can't replace the eyes, and the mouth can't replace the ears. Everything has its own identity, which is unsurpassable in the whole universe. (Kodo Sawaki)
Steve [Jobs] proves that it's OK to be an asshole... He just has a different OS. View quote
Guy Kawasaki
Only a real asshole takes liberties with someone else's car stereo. That's serious. View quote
Sarah Dessen
Tweet, tweet, you're alive, you ignorant asshole. View quote
Richard Ford
With all due respect, Mr President, you are an asshole. View quote
Joschka Fischer
There's a standard Internet phenomenon (I generalize) of a Sneer Club of people who enjoy getting together and picking on designated targets. Sneer Clubs (I expect) attract people with high Dark Triad characteristics, which is (I suspect) where Asshole Internet Atheists come from - if you get a club together for the purpose of sneering at religious people, it doesn't matter that God doesn't actually exist, the club attracts psychologically f'd-up people. Bullies, in a word, people who are powerfully reinforced by getting in what feels like good hits on Designated Targets, in the company of others doing the same and congratulating each other on it.

Eliezer Yudkowsky
My demons talk to me in profanity. They think I'm a jerk. A bum. And an asshole. I just say they're a jerk, they're a bum, they're an asshole. They're no good. They better leave me alone and get off my case. View quote
Wesley Willis
Any asshole can chase a skirt, art takes discipline. View quote
Charles Bukowski

IN A WAY TREES HAVE ASSHOLES BUT YOU CAN'T FIND THEM, THEY JUST DROP THEIR LEAVES. YOUR ASSHOLE, MY ASSHOLE, THE WORLD IS FULL OF BILLIONS OF ASSHOLES. THE PRESIDENT HAS AN ASSHOLE, THE CARWASH BOY HAS AN ASSHOLE, THE JUDGE AND THE MURDERER HAVE ASSHOLES... EVEN THE PURPLE STICKINPIN HAS AN ASSHOLE! View quote
Charles Bukowski
He was an asshole to believe them. View quote
Hugo Chávez
