A vast collection of quotes extracted from works that have shifted our paradigms, broke down our humanity, rekindled the romance in our marriages, lit fires of burning hatred in our guts, made us cry like women for our grandmothers, and brought us closer to our estranged children.

Excerpt from "A Mind Worth Numbing" by Carol Lloyd

P - "A bigger ball. It's soft on the outside but the hard part is diminished. It's a bit retarded to be honest with you."

O - "So it's more like a softball, I assume?"

P - "Not quite. Picture a ball about the size of a beach ball. Only it's softer on the outside but the hard part is diminished."

O - "Ok, so it's like a softer, diminished, larger beach ball?"

P - "It's a bit retarded, I know."

O - "No, no. Just a bit unrealisitic, that's all."

P - "I prefer retarded."

O - "Retarded it is then."
