Good Quotes
Joyce: Good enough. Stephanie whats-her-name wrote sparkly vampires into pop culture and for this ought be drug into the street and forced to listen to her own purple prose. (btw, Joyce is a synaesthete)
Vampires don’t sparkle.
John: usually when i drag some one into a street, they get shot
not read to

Joyce: Shot works too.
In this case it’s kinda the same thing
If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density at any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation. –Thomas Jefferson
