“The real truth about children is they don't speak the language very well. They're physically uncoordinated. And they are ignorant of our elaborate ideas about right and wrong.”

“The English Language is my bitch. Or I don't speak it very well. Whatever.”

“Animals don't know as much about jealousy as people, but they're not ignorant of it, either.”

“There is a war on men, and [feminists] are very open about it. They don't conceal it; they brag about it. You read all of their material – they're always saying they want to abolish the patriarchy.

“They say ignorance is bliss…. they're wrong”
