“Scientifically speaking, the existence of God is an untenable hypothesis. It's not well-defined, it's completely unnecessary to fit the data, and it adds unhelpful layers of complexity without any corresponding increase in understanding.”
“I just love the idea of witches, in general. The whole concept of witches was to keep down the feminine rise in power that was happening, at the time. They created this concept of witches, so that they could burn women at the stake and keep them in their place, and now we've turned it around to empower women. That's very ironic. If they only knew that they created a weapon for us to use against them.”

They are born with us; exist with us; and cannot be taken from us by any human power, without taking our lives.”

Me and my big smart-aleck mouth. "Iâ€¦ uh, sorry. I didn't mean that. I saw Secretary a few too many times. I'm impressionable.”

“The point is, how do you know the Guarantee Fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer.”
