The Fauna 'Quote of the Day' thread

The New York Times has a 'quote of the day' on its front page every day. Not to be outdone, I want to start a Fauna 'quote of the day'.

It has to be taken word for word, and it is better if just the quote itself is posted without editorializing, so its full impact can be appreciated. But certainly you can then follow up with posts analyzing the quote, if you wish.

Of course with such an outstanding group of people, there may be more than one quote each day worthy of note and that's perfectly OK.

Here, the first Fauna 'Quote of the Day:

I actually think there was a thread started somewhere of just quotes from Wes. I came across this one while looking for something else:

Both sustained me.

I liked the orange better.

You're like an apple.

I don't like you.

Oranges have been known to SEVERELY treat errant apples. Going so far, on occasion, as the verbally give them the drubbing they so rightfully deserve in person.

Oranges are generally more intelligent than apples having not only mental dexterity to a MUCH higher degree but the ability to see that even though they ARE smarter than most apples, they are not the smartest of all the fruits.

Apples, being not so very clever as a rule BUT painfully unaware of their lack (always), continually try to assert intellectual domination and quickness of wit is THEIRS alone and not only NOT possessed by the lowly oranges but unable to be conceptualized by such a round fruit.

See the logic there?

They, the apples, have also been known to hurl seedling insults at oranges for growing on trees.

I still like oranges.

And for you, nothing has or ever will change.

I'd HATE to be you, er, an apple.

Is it any wonder Al is no longer with us?

Not true... The intelegent and powerful people do run around.

While intelligent people sit back and laugh and thank the heavens that ignorance is not contagious.

Here is an eerie one, written almost a year before I decided to enter law school, it seems like a forecast of the future now that I look back on it:

Here is one that applies in everything.....

In order to get people to think out of the box,...we should not create the box in the first place

Looks like this could be one of the comments passed out with warning points.

I suppose if you were wiser you would save yourself a lot of typing.......

Here's one fresh and used for the first time today.

dand, why are you such a coward that your only compadre seems to be a devil with a silver tongue who, despite the knowledge of its metallic origins, cannot seem to help trying to bite it off on a regular basis?

Still waiting on that answer to that question dand.
