I bought at last summer a WHSmith diary from summer 2009-2010. Each double page has some quotes, some that I have found quite nice and meaningful and others not so, or even even quite superficial.

 

I just flipped past the page on 24th-25th of December, and this really just takes the cake. The quote is from Prince Phillip, otherwise known as the Duke of Edinburgh. This guy has already been in trouble for saying some quite racist things in the past, as well as probably being the member of the Royal family most closesly associated with Eugenics, even though many of these elites are to a great extent it seems.

 

But to put this on the page for Christmas Day, just takes the cake!  Why is there not a controversy over this, I almost feel like suing WHSmith! Here's the quote:

 

"If I were reincarnated, I would wish to be returned to Earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels."

 

Merry f***ing Christmas indeed...

"When the King is far the people are happy."  Chinese proverb

For Alexander Zinoviev and the free market there is a shared delight:

"Where there are problems there is life."

British stationary/books shop. Really rubbish chain, can't believe they haven't failed yet.

The difference between libertarianism and socialism is that libertarians will tolerate the existence of a socialist community, but socialists can't tolerate a libertarian community.

There was an LRC article that refered to this quote in its first paragraph or so and then went from there, you may want to digg it up, I remember it as a good one.

Sorry, cursing sounds better in Albanian.

The Regression theorem is a memetic equivalent of the Theory of Evolution. To say that the former precludes the free emergence of fiat currencies makes no more sense that to hold that the latter precludes the natural emergence of multicellular organisms.
