"Curiosity is insubordination in it's purest form." Vladimir Nabokov
"3 o' clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do." Jean-Paul Satre
"We can't allow spokespeople from the UK to gleefully say they have been honest when they have threatened us in such a way." Ecuador's foreign minister

Either that or overpayments and fines are a nice little sideline."
