A Quote by Robert Anton Wilson

... I have developed, over the years, some sense of the difference between real horseshit that you can step in and Ideal Platonic Horseshit that exists, evidently, only in the contemplation of those who worship such abstractions; and I continue to notice that Natural Law bears an uncanny resemblance to ideal Platonic Horseshit.

Ambrose, your presence is the horseshit frosting on the horseshit cake that is the admissions interview process.

Patrick Rothfuss

There were a few people who got jobs in Limerick, a big barrel on wheels, and it was a barrel that went back and forth, and a shovel and a broom. So, they went around shoveling the horseshit into this barrel. So, you got that job when you were around 15, and then you got to retire at the age of 65, with a pension. A small pension. So that would be 50 years of shoveling horseshit. And I was advised very seriously that I should get that job.

Malachy McCourt

Human lives are hard, even those of health and privilege, and don't make much sense. This is the message of the Book of Job: Any snappy explanation of suffering you come up with will be horseshit.

Anne Lamott

The influence (for good or ill) of Plato's work is immeasurable. Western thought, one might say, has been Platonic or anti-Platonic, but hardly ever non-Platonic.

Karl Popper

That's my punishment in hell, shoveling horseshit.

Malachy McCourt

You realize, of course, that everything I say is horseshit.

Kurt Vonnegut

I don't have to meet actors. I'm really blessed that I don't have to do all that horseshit.

Norm MacDonald

Great art is horseshit, buy tacos.

Charles Bukowski

The challenge is always to find the ultimate in the ordinary horseshit.

James Tate

If you were seeing a lot of horseshit, there had to be a pony in the vicinity.

Stephen King

You can't let any team awe you. If you do, you'll wind up a horseshit player.

Luke Appling

PLATONIC, adj. Pertaining to the philosophy of Socrates. Platonic Love is a fool's name for the affection between a disability and a frost.

Ambrose Bierce

It isn’t necessary to know exactly how your ideal life will look; you only have to know what feels better and what feels worse…Begin making choices based on what makes you feel freer and happier, rather than on how you think an ideal life should look. It’s the process of feeling our way toward happiness, not the realization of the Platonic ideal, that creates our best lives.
