Quotes of Note

This is a collection of quoteworthy things from books, tv, or where ever. It's very a small collection at the moment of some stuff I've written down in order to remember and kind of here just to amuse myself!

"You know that stuff they're selling now at the local shop, 'I Can't Believe it's Not Butter'. Well, you know, I can't believe it's not butter. Then yesterday ...

Well I can't believe the stuff that is not 'I Can't Believe it's Not Butter' is not 'I Can't Believe it's Not Butter', and I can't believe that both 'I Can't Believe it's Not Butter' and the stuff I can't believe is not 'I Can't Believe it's Not Butter' are both, in fact, not butter. And I believe they both might be butter, in a cunning disguise. And if fact there's a lot more butter around than we all thought there was."

"Of course," Kirk and Picard said in unison.
