When you need an excuse to post random quotes, the Internets is there for you to use.

Meme via [personal profile] drhoz (though I think I saw another one of you do this awhile back):

"Go here and keep hitting random quotes until you get five that resonate with you, then post them in your journal."

As usual, I’ll exceed my quota and give you ten.

TOP TEN DEF RANDOM QUOTES

1. I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. – Douglas Adams

2. We are turning into a nation of whimpering slaves to Fear – fear of war, fear of poverty, fear of random terrorism, fear of getting down-sized or fired because of the plunging economy, fear of getting evicted for bad debts or suddenly getting locked up in a military detention camp on vague charges of being a Terrorist sympathizer. – Hunter S Thompson

3. Sex between two people is a beautiful thing ; between five it's fantastic. – Woody Allen

4. In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards. – Mark Twain

5. There is a tragic flaw in our precious Constitution, and I don't know what can be done to fix it. This is it: Only nut cases want to be president. – Kurt Vonnegut

6. Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under. – H.L. Mencken

7. I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it. – Mae West

8. Nihilism is best done by professionals. – Iggy Pop

9. Ninety percent of everything is crap. – Theodore Sturgeon

10. The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." – George Carlin

HONORABLE MENTION
(it doesn’t “resonate” with me, but it makes me smile)

If all the girls who attended the Yale prom were laid end to end, I wouldn't be a bit surprised. – Dorothy Parker

You can quote me on that,

Mencken was good like that. I read a collection of his articles once, and even though he was writing between the World Wars, a lot of what he said about Congress is still applicable today. Which is scary, in a way.
