->''"During my race, so many of my opponents would say, "well, he's just an organizer. He's not ready for Congress." Now I'm here, a year into the job, and I think we've had a very successful year, especially for a freshman office in the minority."''
-->-- U.S. Rep. '''Maxwell Alejandro Frost''' (D-FL), in an interview with ''Good Good Good'', "[[https://www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/congressman-maxwell-frost Why Rep. Maxwell Frost Is Hopeful About Gen Z's Future in Politics]]"

->''"I was going into that movie expecting it to be garbage. It was gonna be the guy from ''Film/TheKissingBooth'' and the guy from ''[[Film/PurpleHearts2022 Purple Hearts]]'' in a love story. Right? Terrible. But no, actually it was very, very cute."''
-->-- '''WebVideo/KennieJD''', about ''Film/RedWhiteAndRoyalBlue''

->''"We, writers, painters, sculptors, architects and passionate devotees of the hitherto untouched beauty of UsefulNotes/{{Paris}}, protest with all our strength, with all our indignation in the name of slighted French taste, against the erection… of this useless and monstrous Eiffel Tower… To bring our arguments home, imagine for a moment a giddy, ridiculous tower dominating Paris like a gigantic black smokestack, crushing under its barbaric bulk Notre Dame, the Tour Saint-Jacques, the Louvre, the Dome of les Invalides, the Arc de Triomphe, all of our humiliated monuments will disappear in this ghastly dream. And for twenty years… we shall see stretching like a blot of ink the hateful shadow of the hateful column of bolted sheet metal."''

->''"I'm doing [[UsefulNotes/{{UNIX}} a (free) operating system]] (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386 (486) AT clones.[...] It is NOT portable (uses 386 task switching etc.), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks."''

->'''2017 Paul:''' ''"Yes, [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Zelda]] will give the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch Switch]] a stronger launch than the UsefulNotes/WiiU, almost automatically. But even there, there are caveats. With effectively four new games at launch, you either have to like Zelda, or you won’t buy a Switch, it’s as simple as that. And while the gaming bubbles of the internet are going nuts over [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Breath of the Wild]], it’s important to remember that it’s games like VideoGame/MarioKart and VideoGame/SuperSmashBros. that are Creator/{{Nintendo}}’s absolute biggest hits, not Zelda titles (though of course they sell well). They are vast, complex [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer RPGs]], and while great games, [[FanMyopia have a smaller audience than many believe]]. That may change with Breath of the Wild, which could [[NewbieBoom expand the series’ reach]] simply by being that good, but at launch, the Switch is in effect a $360 copy of Zelda, which is no small order."''\\\
