"I'm not blessed or merciful. I'm just me. I've got a job to do and I do it.
When the first living thing existed I was there, waiting. When the last living
thing dies, my job will be finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn
out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave." Sandman. Gaiman.

Reasons to be a misogynist:
Their concern with the surface of things, with objects and appearances, with
their surroundings and how they look and sound in them, with seeming to be
better and to be right while getting everything wrong, their automatic
assumption of the role of the injured party in any clash of wills, their
certainty that a view is more credible and useful for the fact they hold it,
their use of misunderstanding and misrepresentation as weapons of debate, their
selective sensitivity to tones of voice, their unawareness of the difference
in themselves between sincerity and insincerity, their interest in importance
(together with noticeable inability to discriminate in that sphere), their
fondness for general conversation and directionless discussion, their pre-
emption of the major share of feeling, their exaggerated estimate of their own
plausibility, their never listening, and of course, for being manipulative
little BITCHES!

"Good evening. Here is the news on Friday the 27th of Geldof.
Archaeologists near Mount Sinai have discovered what is believed to be a
missing page from the Bible. The page is presently being carbon dated in
Bonn. If genuine, it belongs at the beginning of the Bible and is believed
to read, 'To my darling Candy. All characters portrayed within this book are
fictitious and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely
coincidental.' The page has been universally condemned by church leaders."

"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more
certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not
lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith,
but through striving after rational knowledge." - Albert Einstein

"A world where most men prefer sex with little children to sex with grown
women, mostly allegedly Christian parents secretly engage in bloody Satanic
rituals and every third person has suffered anal, genital and other
harassments by demonic dwarfs from outer space makes as much sense - and
just as little sense - as a world where the universe is ruled by the ghost
of a crucified Jew and George Bush had rational reasons ( which no-one can
now remember ) for bombing Iraq again two days before leaving the White
House."

"What caused the Cold War? Why did two nations that had spilt so much
blood for a common cause suddenly become arch-enemies? And why do we
write 'spilt'? We don't write 'I was truly thrilt when the service
station attendant filt up my car with gasoline', do we? Of course not,
there ARE no service station attendants anymore! That is one of the grim
realities we must face in the Cold War. But what we're the causes?
Historians agree the causes are subtle and complex, which is why we don't
sit next to them at parties."
-- Dave Barry

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here.
I'm mad, you're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
--Lewis Carroll, _Alice_In_Wonderland_
