“Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.”
C.S. Lewis
“Experience is by far the best teacher. You know, ever since I was a little girl I knew that if you look both ways when you cross the street, you'll see a lot more than traffic.”
Mae West
“One could laugh at the world better if it didn't mix tender kindliness with its brutality.”
D.H. Lawrence
“The greatest horrors of our world, from the executions in Iran to the brutalities of the IRA, are committed by people who are totally sincere”
John Mortimer
“The difference between our decadence and the Russians is that while theirs is brutal, ours is apathetic.”
David Sarnoff
“The most thoroughly and relentlessly Damned, banned, excluded, condemned, forbidden, ostracized, ignore, suppressed, repressed, robbed, brutalized and defamed of all Damned Things is the individual human being. The social engineers, statistician, psychologist, sociologists, market researchers, landlords, bureaucrats, captains of industry, bankers, governors, commissars, kings and presidents are perpetually forcing this Damned Thing into carefully prepared blueprints and perpetually irritated that the Damned Thing will not fit into the slot assigned it. The theologians call it a sinner and try to reform it. The governor calls it a criminal and tries to punish it. the psychologist calls it a neurotic and tries to cure it. Still, the Damned Thing will not fit into their slots.”
Robert Anton Wilson
“That was a brutal move, I should've just stayed in the net. That was embarrassing.”
Rick DiPietro
