->''"We don't need one show about cupcakes, as far as I'm concerned. But you know what, if you've got one, okay, that's fine, let's have a show about cupcakes. But does it have to be a fucking competition? Do you have to have ''CupcakeWars''? And I'm sure people who have been in war kind of take offense to that. Because seriously, it's not that goddamn dangerous to make a cupcake."''

->''"'The Last Night of a Jockey' is an old ''TwilightZone'' episode about a jockey who gets suspended from riding horses, then wishes he was bigger. The wish, obviously, backfires, because The ''Twilight Zone'' was basically one giant PSA about the dangers of [[JerkassGenie evil genies]]. As far as episodes go, it's nothing special -- until you hear the commentary of Mickey Rooney (who stars as the jockey) and one incredibly brave interviewer...Toward the end, the interviewer makes the mistake of insisting that ''The Twilight Zone'' was an important show. It is then that we finally get a glimpse into the mind of Mickey Rooney. And find that it contains only [[NewMediaAreEvil misplaced rage at Internet pornography.]]"''

->''If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls; they will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks. What you have discovered is a recipe not for memory, but for reminder. And it is no true wisdom that you offer your disciples, but only its semblance, for by telling them of many things without teaching them you will make them seem to know much, while for the most part they know nothing, and as men filled, not with wisdom, but with the conceit of wisdom, they will be a burden to their fellows.''
