American Psycho Patrick [voice-over]: I live in the American Gardens Building on W. 81st Street on the 11th floor. My name is Patrick Bateman. I’m 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I’ll put...

Dangerous Liasons Vicomte: The day after our last meeting, I broke with Madame de Tourvel on the grounds that it was “beyond my control.” Marquise de Merteuil: You didn’t! Vicomte: I certainly did. Marquise de Merteuil: But how wonderful of you. Vicomte: You kept telling me my reputation was in dan...

Epistemology “Science is often misrepresented as ‘the body of knowledge acquired by performing replicated controlled experiments in the laboratory.’ Actually, science is something broader: the acquisition of reliable knowledge about the world.” Jared Diamond What's that make philosophy then? “Postu...

Dangerous Liasons Vicomte: lsn’t it a pity that our agreement does not relate to the task you set me rather than the task I set myself? Marquise de Merteuil: I am grateful, of course.

Robert Louis Stevenson from Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Good and evil are so close as to be chained together in the soul. In my soul certainly. And I don't even have one.

Not that it would have disturbed me in the slightest if I had known. You see, until I met you, I had only ever experienced desire. Love, never. Ma...

Dangerous Liasons Madame de Volanges: Monsieur le Vicomte de Valmont, my child whom you very probably don’t remember…except that he is conspicuously charming…never opens his mouth without first calculating what damage he can do. Cecile: Then why do you receive him, maman? Madame de Volanges: Everyo...

Igby Goes Down Igby: I love the fact that the captain of the morality team invites his chick to the same party as his wife, who let’s face it, isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed anymore. And what’s more, none of their supposed mutual friends protects her. None of them bats a fucking eyelash at his...

Logic “If someone doesn't value evidence, what evidence are you going to provide to prove that they should value it? If someone doesn’t value logic, what logical argument could you provide to show the importance of logic?” Sam Harris God knows? “Mathematics expresses values that reflect the cosmos,...
