15 February: Matt Groening quotes

Born this date in 1954: Matt Groening, cartoonist, creator of the comic strip Life in Hell and as two successful television series, The Simpsons and Futurama. 10 quotes:

  1. Love is a perky elf dancing a merry little jig, then suddenly he turns on you with a miniature machine gun.

  2. Son, if you really want something in life, you have to work for it. Now quiet, they're about to announce the lottery numbers.

  3. When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

  4. Part of the fun of being alive is knowing that you're annoying the hell out of someone else.

  5. No matter how good you are at something, there's always about a million people better than you.

  6. I promise I'll do anything for you, especially if it's easy.

  7. I didn't lie, I was writing fiction with my mouth.

  8. You've got to embrace the future. You can whine about it, but you've got to embrace it.

  9. If at first you don't succeed – give it up. It isn't worth the pain.

  10. Let's face it, all the good stuff happens after midnight.





I also write novels and short stories. If you like superheroes, psychic detectives and general weirdness you might enjoy them.
