“Aurelia, not all those women are uppity aristocratic bitches. Most of them are normal nice girls trying to survive in shark-infested waters, so if you want to make a difference, why not go in there and change the way things work?" "How?" Marcus smiled deviously. "By unseating the queen bee and changing the rules." "That sounds like a great idea, Colonel. Lead me to the beehive.”

“[Uh-oh, it's bath time for Calvin.]

MOM, who sits in the living room, has turned toward the door. Very likely she is screaming the following words at the top of her lungs:

CALVIN! Quiet down
and quit that splashing!
I don't want to have to
clean the whole bathroom!

CALVIN:
Ha! I pulled the plug!
Down the drain with you!
DIE, FIEND!
DIE, DIE!!

MOM [By now she's sitting in a normal position on her armchair, trying to read a book, when she has apparently just heard an unexpected noise]:

Don't tell me he's letting
the water out already.

CALVIN, now standing right in back of his mother. He's naked, scowling full force, and dripping:

Believe it, lady.”
― Bill Watterson, Calvin & Hobbes

“Voltaire said about God that ‘there is no God, but don’t tell that to my servant, lest he murder me at night’. Hammurabi would have said the same about his principle of hierarchy, and Thomas Jefferson about human rights. Homo sapiens has no natural rights, just as spiders, hyenas and chimpanzees have no natural rights. But don’t tell that to our servants, lest they murder us at night.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

“I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.”
― Richard P. Feynman
