Quote of the Year: "We are Groot."
-Groot
Stupid Quote of the Year:
"What do we want? Dead Cops! When do we want it? Now!"
-Protesters led by Al Sharpton
and the rest...
"All right, good night."
-Last words from the missing Malaysian airliner
"Our Western partners headed by the United States prefer not to be guided by international law in their practical policies, but by the rule of the gun. They have come to believe in their exceptionalism and their sense of being the chosen ones. That they can decide the destinies of the world, that it is only them who can be right."
-Vladimir Putin
"So, if we’re all going to be outraged, let’s be outraged that we weren’t more outraged when (Sterling’s) racism was first evident. Let’s be outraged that private conversations between people in an intimate relationship are recorded and publicly played. Let’s be outraged that whoever did the betraying will probably get a book deal, a sitcom, trade recipes with Hoda and Kathie Lee, and soon appear on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ and ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ "
-Kareen Abdul-Jabbar
"Nirvana defined a moment, a movement for outsiders, from the fags and the fat girls to the shy nerds and the goth kids in Tennessee and Kentucky, for the rockers to the awkward to the too-smart kids and the bullied. We were a community."
-Michael Stipe
"Drug addicts and alcoholics are always, 'The world is a harsh place.' My mother was in a concentration camp in Nazi Germany. I don't want to hear f**k all about "the world as a harsh place." She gets up every day, smells the roses and loves life. And for a putz, 20-year-old kid to say, 'I'm depressed, I live in Seattle.' F**k you, then kill yourself."
-Gene Simmons
"We do stories on food stamps, but only to the extent that we prove the cast that they’re needed, without also examining well-established fraud and abuse. We look at unemployment but only to the extent that we present sympathetic characters showing that benefits should be extended rather than examining, also, the escalating cost and instances of fraud. We cover minimum wage but only to the extent that we help make the case for raising it, without giving much due to the other side, which argued it will have the opposite effect than intended."
-Sharyl Attkinson
"He's really batshit crazy."
-James Spader on Ultron
"God, I’m going to sound like a grumpy old man. Modern music, to me, is very formulaic."
-David Gilmour
"Unapologetically, this is for the generation that wants to put its headphones on, lie in a beanbag, or whatever, and get off on a piece of music for an extended period of time. You could say it’s not for the iTunes, downloading-individual-tracks generation."
-David Gilmour on the new Pink Floyd album
‘Your country will turn on you. The liberal media will turn on you. The people will grow tired of this. They will turn on you – and when they do, you are going to be abandoned.’"
-Khalid Sheik Mohammad to his captors
"We had 50 years of white Bonds because Bond is white. Bond was never black. Ian
Fleming never created a black Brit to play James Bond. The character was always
white. He was always Scottish. He always drank vodka shaken not stirred and all
that."
-Rush Limbaugh
"If I'm dead do I still have to pay taxes?
-Axl Rose on rumors of his death
