Things People Said: Foobaz's Rules for Life

Things People Said

A collection of quotes I've kept for a while now. I add new ones fairly regularly, generally once or twice every week. Topics will be anything I find interesting that day, from famous writers, online forums, and everyone in between. Mail me quotes you find interesting, or leave them in comments.

Before this post:
• God as a comedian
• As Well as They Can
• Speed
• "The Gruffalo"
• "Poem for Everyone"
• The End of Love
• I'm Only Sleeping
• Fly porn
• Change, loss
• Others

A tremendous debt is owed to the following:

Foobaz's Rules for Life

If something sucks, fix it (this basic yet important rule is reflected in many common Wikipedia attitudes, such as Be Bold and Template:Sofixit)
Small is beautiful (Ockham's Razor follows)
Be positive, not negative

…or karma will catch up to you
…because life is not a zero-sum game

Anything worth doing is worth doing right (don't do anything halfway)
Don't take any guff from these fucking swine (it only encourages them)
Never whistle while you're pissing (only do as much as you can focus on)
Good enough is good enough (don't obsess)
Know your enemy

…and they're all your enemy

Once you're in love you're pretty much fucked
