Daffy QUOTES

1 " Principal Principal: Where's your late pass, mister?
Errant Student: I'm on my way to get one now.
PP: But you can't be in the hall without a pass.
ES: I know, I'm so upset. That's why I need to hurry, so I can get a pass.
Principal Principal pauses with a look on his face like Daffy Duck's when Bugs is pulling a fast one.
PP: Well, hurry up, then, and get that pass. "

― Laurie Halse Anderson , Speak

2 " Now (obviously) a sentence’s truth—even when we hold the sentence’s meaning fixed—depends on which world we are considering. “Brown is Prime Minister” is true in the actual world but, since Brown need not have been Prime Minister, there are countless worlds in which “Brown is Prime Minister” is false: in those worlds, Brown did not succeed Tony Blair, or never went into politics, or never even existed. And in some other worlds, someone else is Prime Minister — David Cameron, P. F. Strawson, me, Madonna, or Daffy Duck. In still others, there is no such office as Prime Minister, or not even a Britain; and so on and so forth. So a given sentence or proposition varies its truth-value from world to world. "

3 " In the yard of the inn, Daffy Cadwaladyr introduced himself. " Short for Davyd," he said pleasantly.The Londoner looked as if she'd never heard a sillier name in her life. "

4 " In politics, Bugs Bunny always beats Daffy Duck. Daffy's always going berserk, jumping up and down, yelling. Bugs's got that sly smile, like he always knows what's up, like nothing can ruffle him. "

5 " The soul, Daffy says, is not necessarily where the heart is. "

― Alan Bradley , As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust (Flavia de Luce, #7)

6 " While you've been gadding about the countryside, we've held a meeting, and we've all of us decided that you must go.'

In short, we've voted you out of the family,' Daffy said. 'It was unanimous. "

― Alan Bradley , The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag (Flavia de Luce, #2)

7 " As Daffy once said, the best place to hide a glum countenance is onstage at the opera. "

― Alan Bradley , The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie (Flavia de Luce, #1)

8 " I love those dark moments in Peanuts. I love that they're in there, that Charles Schulz put the sad lonely bits of himself into the comic. I love the silliness too, the dancing Snoopy strips. The little boy Rerun drawing " basement" comics about Tarzan fighting Daffy Duck in a helicopter. Those are the bits that keep me reading. The funny parts! The fun parts. The silly bits that don't make any sense. And when I get to the sad lonely Peppermint Patty standing in a field wondering why nobody shook hands and said " good game," well, it works because that's not all she was. I try to think that way about everything. That's the kind of person I want to be. "

9 " Mike Myers as Austin Powers makes me laugh - that was genius - and Daffy Duck makes me laugh, but I like odd behavior. I don't like hip dialogue and one-liners and all that sort of cool, sophomoric comedy. It's just not for me. "
