ehsnils Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 High-school dropout Billy Joel, a poor Jew from the Bronx (and grew up in Levittown, Long Island): "Mom, I won't go to Columbia University, but I will go to Columbia Records, make a million dollars, and buy you a new house." Yep. It happened. He said that when he was 17 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only imposes on you the duty of so living your life that others can receive your orders without being humiliated.

You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human ******* beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit. Because I am hard you will not like me, but the more you hate me the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair.

stm25rs Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Once upon a time on Tralfamadore there were creatures who weren’t anything like machines. They weren’t dependable. They weren’t efficient. They weren’t predictable. They weren’t durable. And these poor creatures were obsessed by the idea that everything that existed had to have a purpose, and that some purposes were higher than others. These creatures spent most of their time trying to find out what their purpose was. And every time they found out what seemed to be a purpose of themselves, the purpose seemed so low that the creatures were filled with disgust and shame. And, rather than serve such a low purpose, the creatures would make a machine to serve it. This left the creatures free to serve higher purposes. But whenever they found a higher purpose, the purpose still wasn’t high enough. So machines were made to serve higher purposes, too. And the machines did everything so expertly that they were finally given the job of finding out what the highest purpose of the creatures could be. The machines reported in all honesty that the creatures couldn’t really be said to have any purpose at all. The creatures thereupon began slaying each other, because they hated purposeless things above all else. And they discovered that they weren’t even very good at slaying. So they turned that job over to the machines, too. And the machines finished up the job in less time than it takes to say, “Tralfamadore.” ― Kurt Vonnegut, The Sirens of Titan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) During one of Candie’s many racially charged diatribes, Leonardo DiCaprio had to stop as he was having a hard time dealing with all the racially charged language. Between scenes, Samuel L. Jackson took DiCaprio to him one side and told him to get it together, telling him “Motherf*r, this is just another Tuesday for us.” From the making of Django unchained.
