"Poor literacy is kewl" ~ Johannes Gutenberg.

"Die you Tyrant Lincoln! Yaaaaaaaaaa- oh snap! I forgot to buy bullets" John Wilkes Booth, shortly after failing to assassinate Abraham Lincoln.

"omigosh stup flamin trolls! her nam iz enoby nut mary su!" C. S. Lewis

"Human beings judge one another by their external actions. God judges them by their moral choices. When a neurotic who has a pathological horror of cats forces himself to pick up a cat for some good reason, it is quite possible that in God's eyes he has shown more courage than a healthy man may have shown in winning the V.C. When a man who has been perverted from his youth and taught that cruelty is the right thing, does some tiny little kindness, or refrains from some cruelty he might have committed, and thereby, perhaps, risks being sneered at by his companions, he may, in God's eyes, be doing more than you and I would do if we gave up life itself for a friend." ~ Tara Gillespie
