“College is so awesome! It's really too bad they try to ruin it with classes!”

“So, been attacked by any vampires yet?""Not one.""Zombies? Giant spiders? Water monsters?"It's been really quiet on the supernatural front""Too bad, 'cause I got attacked by a devil dog. It was not awesome.”

“It's really too bad that so much crumby stuff is a lot of fun sometimes.”

“So let's not ruin this by thinking too much about tomorrow. Don't make a wonderful weekend into a bad Monday.”

“The government decides to try to increase the middle class by subsidizing things that middle class people have: If middle-class people go to college and own homes, then surely if more people go to college and own homes, we’ll have more middle-class people. But homeownership and college aren’t causes of middle-class status, they’re markers for possessing the kinds of traits — self-discipline, the ability to defer gratification, etc. — that let you enter, and stay, in the middle class. Subsidizing the markers doesn’t produce the traits; if anything, it undermines them.”

“Trying too hard to be too good, even when trying to be bad, is too good for the bad, too bad for the good.”
