• The poor get worked, the rich get richer,
  The world gets worse, do you get the picture?
  The poor gets dead, the rich get depressed,
  The ugly get mad, the pretty get stressed.

  The old get stiff, the young get stepped on.

  So throw your fists up if you not satisfied.

• I have a hard time with historians because they idolize the truth. The truth is not uplifting; it destroys. I could tell most of the secretaries in the church office building that they are ugly and fat. That would be the truth, but it would hurt and destroy them. Historians should tell only that part of the truth that is inspiring and uplifting.

  Boyd K. Packer

• I hadn’t seen any novel make the statement that entering the workforce was like entering the grave. That from then on, nothing happens and you have to pretend to be interested in your work. And, furthermore, that some people have a sex life and others don’t just because some are more attractive than others. I wanted to acknowledge that if people don’t have a sex life, it’s not for some moral reason, it’s just because they’re ugly. Once you’ve said it,
  it sounds obvious, but I wanted to say it.

  Michel Houellebecq
