Nintendo DS makes me forget that I dont have any friends."Fall Out Boy — Patrick Stump

"Im probably the only guy in the world that likes to eat black licorice."

"Sometimes people associate getting big with selling out, which is funny because thats not something you necessarily have choice in. Thats not a matter that is entirely up to you and at the same time, who hasnt sold out? If youve heard of a specific artist, theyre big enough--they got to you. Where do you draw the line between whats big and whats too big?"

"Theres so many accusations that are so ridiculous about Pete Wentz that are taken as the gospel—people just assume that he posted pictures of his penis on the internet. That is the stupidest fucking thing thing Ive ever heard. Why on earth would you ever do that?"

"I hear all sorts of things slung at us, one of my favorites being the "boy-band" accusation. Im like, Boy band? Im fat! If we were a boy band, Id look good, Id dance and Id be charming - so what the fuck are you talking about? I write songs, thats all I do.Rolling Stone: Fall Out Boy"

"Ive heard a lot of really awful, negative things said about Pete, and its like, “Dude, you dont even have a clue how honest and real that guy is” for the amount of crap that people talk about him. Pete said it, and its true, they make you into a wrestling character. And its also like reality TV editing. Its really easy to cut somebody in rolling their eyes when that might not have even happened next to the thing that its being shown next to."

"I think Joes underappreciated, I think Andys underappreciated, I think Petes underappreciated, I dont think people know how good he is. I think Neal [Avron]s underappreciated, but if anything, I feel overappreciated. I think Patrick Stump gets enough attention."

"How seldom, Friend! a good great man inherits Honour or wealth, with all his worth and pains! It sounds like stories from the land of spirits, If any man obtain that which he merits, Or any merit that which he obtains.   . For shame, dear Friend! renounce this canting strain! … Greatness and goodness are not means, but ends! Hath he not always treasures, always friends, The good great man? Three treasures, and , And , regular as infants breath; And three firm friends, more sure than day and night, , his , and the Angel ."

"Chronology, the time which changes things, makes them grow older, wears them out, and manages to dispose of them, chronologically, forever. Thank God there is kairos too: again the Greeks were wiser than we are. They had two words for time: chronos and kairos. Kairos is not measurable. Kairos is ontological. In kairos we are, we are fully in isness, not negatively, as Sartre saw the isness of the oak tree, but fully, wholly, positively. Kairos can sometimes enter, penetrate, break through : the child at play, the painter at his easel, Serkin playing the Appassionata are in kairos. The saint in prayer, friends around the dinner table, the mother reaching out her arms for her newborn baby are in kairos. The bush, the , is in kairos, not any burning bush, but the particular burning bush before which Moses removed his shoes; the bush I pass by on my way to the brook. In kairos that part of us which is not consumed in the burning is wholly awake."

"Besides inventing quantum theory, Planck had made another great contribution to science by welcoming and generously supporting the young Albert Einstein. In 1905, when Einstein, then an unknown employee of the Swiss patent office in Bern, sent five revolutionary papers to the physics journal that Planck edited in Berlin, Planck immediately recognized them as works of genius and published them quickly without sending them to referees. He did not agree with all of Einstein’s ideas, but he published all of them. He helped Einstein to move ahead in the academic world, and in 1913 invited him to a full professorship in Berlin. For twenty years Planck and Einstein were friends and colleagues in Berlin, leaders of a scientific community that remained creative and vibrant, in spite of the political and economic disarray that surrounded them. Planck was the rock-solid central figure of German science, with the vision to promote the unorthodox and unpatriotic citizen-of-the-world Einstein."

"One day I was filled with longing To behold in human form the splendours of the Friend, To witness the ocean gathered up into a drop, The sun compressed into a single atom."

"Our friends from the Trade Federation have pledged their support. And when their battle droids are combined with yours, we shall have an army greater than any in the galaxy. The Jedi will be overwhelmed. The Republic will agree to any demands we make."

"Although my heart may be weak, its not alone. Its grown with each new experience. And its found a home with all the friends Ive made. Ive become a part of their heart, just as theyve become a part of mine. And if they think of me now and then, if they dont forget me, then our hearts will be one. I dont need a weapon. My friends are my power!"
