1 " According to the fortune-cookie logic most people live by, the best things in life are free. That's crap. I have a gold-plated robot that scratches the exact part of my back where my hands can't reach, and it certainly wasn't free. "
― Josh Lieb , I Am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to Be Your Class President
2 " We can all agree that children are ugly. "
3 " What is evil?' you ask. To which I reply, 'Who are you, Friedrich Nietzsche?' To which you respond, 'Duh, wha? Me no understand.'Then I put you back in your cage. "
4 " Boys are idiots.Girls are idiots, too, of course, but boys are a special kind of idiot.A girl, for instance, will vote for a boy in an election, or go to a movie that's about a boy, or buy a book that features a boy hero (or villain). Boys are much less likely to return the favor. They can't wrap their feeble minds around the idea that this girl might have anything in common with them. It's like they can't recognize girls as human beings. "
5 " Crime is for poor people. You don't need to rob the bank if you own it. "
6 " I am amused when goody-goodies proclaim, from the safety of their armchairs, that children are naturally prejudice-free, that they only learn to "hate" from listening to bigoted adults. Nonsense. Tolerance is a learned trait, like riding a bike or playing the piano. Those of us who actually live among children, who see them in their natural environment, know the truth: Left to their own devices, children will gang up on and abuse anyone who is even slightly different from the norm. "
7 " It’s simply the most adorable thing ever: My mother has joined a gang. "
8 " Sunrises and sunsets are real jerks about putting things in perspective. "
9 " Daddy was overcome by the charm of this scene. "They're just so amazing at that age. So innocent. So ... pure. As pure as the snow they play in." He apparently hadn't noticed the places where the snow was distinctly yellow. "
10 " Pammy surges out of her seat, arm straining for the sky. She will apparently pee herself if she's not allowed to answer this question. "
11 " and sunsets are real jerks about putting things in perspective. "
12 " Moorehead is one of those sad people who go into teaching so they can be worshipped by the only people sadder than they are - students. "
13 " First off, I call them "children", not "kids". I am a child, and I am not ashamed to be one; time will cure this unfortunate condition. "Kid" is the cutesy name adults call children, because they think "child" sounds too scientific and clinical. I refuse to call myself by their idiotic pet name. Your grandmother might call you "Snugglepants Lovebotton", but that's not how you introduce yourself to strangers. I also refuse to use terms like "teen", "tween", and etc. I find them patronizing and putrid. They are fake words, used to disguise the truth--that anyone under the age of eighteen is legally (and that's the only thing that matters) a child. "
14 " P.S. All babies have little noses, you jackass. "
