- “Socrates.- If all goes well, the time will come when one will take up the memorabilia of Socrates rather than the Bible as a guide to morals and reason… The pathways of the most various philosophical modes of life lead back to him… Socrates excels the founder of Christianity in being able to be serious cheerfully and in possessing that wisdom full of roguishness that constitutes the finest state of the human soul. And he also possessed the finer intellect.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

If you can’t purchase a shopping bag that alludes to something, people won’t believe it ever happened.” ~ Elizabeth McCracken
- “I could have skated by as an athlete, but the world is so much bigger and more interesting than any one thing. I didn’t want to be pigeonholed as just a jock.

I wonder if anyone would pay anything for that?” ~ Mike Royer

We were so shell-shocked from the attacks that we sort of regressed into this childlike mode of filling our apartment with ’80s memorabilia. We got all of our favorite skateboard decks off of eBay, bought a bunch of old independent trucks, we got a credit card so that we could buy 720 off of a videogame vendor, we sat around listening to T.S.O.L. and The Misfits playing 720 and pretending that we were still living in our childhood.” ~ Rick Remender

- “I actually collect old First and Second World War memorabilia.” ~ Jeremy Irvine
