�Marxism exists in the nineteenth-century thought as a fish exists in water; that is, it ceases to breathe anywhere else.�
- Michel Foucault (1926 � 1984), French philosopher: �The Order of Things: An Archaeology of the Human�, (in French �Lest Mots et les Choses�, 1966, translated 1971)
�I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great innermost form of depravity, the one great instinct for revenge, for which no means is poisonous, furtive, underground, petty enough � I call it the one immortal blemish of humanity.�
- Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844 � 1900), German philosopher, critic and poet: �Der Antichrist�, 1888.
�America was founded by Puritans, and like it or not, the antipleasure dogma of those buckle-shoed killjoys still pervades our collective unconscious like an IMAX shot of Dennis Franz�s naked, hairy cop ass. Hence, anything enjoyable is automatically forbidden and bad, and in our panic to avoid it at all costs, we become obsessed with it. Like dressing up in a pink teddy and a pair of Ugg boots and repeatedly screaming the word �verboten� into a conch shell balanced on the back of a miniature pony. Oh, I see, that would just be me, right?�
- Dennis Miller (b. 1953), American standup comedian, actor and talk show host: �Bad Habits� from "Ranting Again", 1998.
