“Instead of healing a withered arm, why did he not find some man whose arm had been cut off, and make another grow?”

Robert G. Ingersoll (1833–1899) Union United States Army officer

Tommy Robinson (1982) English right-wing activist

“You know they call corn-on-the-cob "corn-on-the-cob," right? But that's how it comes out of the ground, man. They should call that "corn", and they should call every other version "corn-off-the-cob." It's not like if you cut off my arm you would call my arm "Mitch", but then reattach it and call it "Mitch-all-together."”

Gross," said Clary. "Must you?"
Simon grinned. "I must.”
