“The world will not change on its own. So we must stick together and put in the effort to change the world together.”

“"I don't know exactly what's wrong with you, but I bet it's hard to pronounce when you're drunk."”

The guys that are on the basketball team stick together, the Catholics stick together, the goddam intellectuals stick together, the guys that play bridge stick together. Even the guys that belong to the goddam Book-of-the-Month Club stick together.”
