Hey fellow NitLetters, if it's okay with you, let's start a new thread containing quotations.
Post a line or two that strikes you as remarkable, either a short passage you've come across in your reading from any era or a line or two you have heard on current media or even — given the restraints of the current health crisis — something you've heard in real time in the so-called "real world."
Quote the words as accurately as you can, and don't forget to include the origin of the statement(s.)
Let's use the Time Magazine criterion: your selection doesn't necessarily have to be good or bad but is in some way noteworthy. You could tell us why you posted it if you want, but it's not a deal-breaker if you don't.
LitNetters could comment (or not) or just post a new quotation. We can all try to remember to follow the rules of this website regarding verboten swearwords and acutely political statements.
Allow me to get the proverbial ball rolling with a line I heard on TV early this morning because it was so beautifully understated.
"Whenever somebody mentions 'mind control,' we go to the next caller."
—Jesse Holland, host of "Washington Journal" on C-Span.
