I've decided to institute "Friday Quips and Quotes," wherein I will offer up wonderfully deep or trivial quotes from TV, film, literature or, occasionally, from my kid. Please accept my invitation to share your thoughts on the quote of the day in the comments section each Friday. Then we will all read each other's comments and nod slowly while staring meaningfully off into space as we contemplate really deep stuff, preferably while wearing a smoking jacket and sipping sherry.
TV Series "Angel," circa 1999:
Spike: I've seen an apocalypse or two in my time...I'd know if one was right under my nose.
Lindsay: Not AN apocalypse...THE apocalypse. What did you think? A gong was gonna sound, tell you to jump on your horses and fight the big fight? The starting pistol went off a long time ago, boys. You're playing for the bad guys. Every day you sit behind your desk and you learn a little bit more how to accept the world the way it is. Here's the rub...heroes don't do that. Heroes don't accept the world the way it is. They fight it.
