Quotes
'The sea was angry that day, my friends, like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli. I got about fifty feet out and suddenly, the great beast appeared before me. I tell you, he was ten stories high if he was a foot. As if sensing my presence, he let out a great bellow. I said, 'Easy, big fella!' And then, as I watched him struggling, I realized that something was obstructing its breathing. From where I was standing, I could see directly into the eye of the great fish. It was all psychological. But it worked. It was as if the foam from his own throat had relaxed him.' - George Costanza, Seinfeld
'There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon. Probably at the next gas station.' - Raoul Duke, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
