"There are only two things I love in this world: everybody and television."
--Kenneth the Page on 30 Rock ("Believe in the Stars," 3.2)

“Imagine people who could only think aloud. (As there are people who can only read aloud.)”
--Ludwig Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations

"Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your perfect offerings/There is a crack in everything/That's how the light gets in."--Leonard Cohen, "Anthem"
