"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."

Picture a man and a woman getting out of a pickup in a Wal-Mart parking lot. The woman gets the baby in carseat out and they shut the doors. As they start walking to the store, she says to the man:
"But, since you got a tattoo, I gotta get something for me."

'Truth, good Brutha, is like the light. Do you know about the light?'
'It...comes from the sun. And the moon and the stars. And candles. And lamps.'
'And so on,' said Vorbis, nodding. 'Of course. But there is another kind of light. A light that fills even the darkest of places. This has to be. For if this meta-light did not exist, how could darkness be seen?'
Brutha said nothing, this sounded too much like philosophy.
'And so it is with truth,' said Vorbis. 'There are some things which appear to be the truth, which have all the hallmarks of truth, but which are not the real truth. The real truth must sometimes be protected by a labyrinth of lies.'
He turned to Brutha. 'Do you understand me?'
'No, Lord Vorbis.'
'I mean, that which appears to our senses is not the fundamental truth. Things that are seen and heard and done by the flesh are mere shadows of a deeper reality....'

"I believe in taking a positive attitude toward the world, toward people, and toward my work. I think I'm here for a purpose. I think it's likely that we all are, but I'm only sure about myself. I try to tune myself in to whatever it is that I'm supposed to be, and I try to think of myself as a part of all of us - all mankind and all life. I find it's not easy to keep these lofty thoughts in mind as the day goes by, but it certainly helps me a great deal to start out this way." - Jim Henson
