Uncommon Quotes

Jump to Comments

After five years of transcribing quotes, it’s time to go public with the hidden genius of my friends, family, coworkers, acquaintances and strangers by creating this site that features a Common Man/Woman/Shim Quote of the Day. From the insightful to the indecipherable, these comments and quips are worth being shared with our fellow masses. But don’t worry: I’m using first names only. Liability and all.

SAMPLES:

Barnes, on smashed sunglasses: I am crushed; a broken spirit with nothing to hold onto but my broken dreams of sight without being bombarded by millions of ninja gamma rays.

Carey, on high school: I was voted “Most Likely To Become A Lawyer” AND “Most Likely To Become A Rapper,” which begs the question: a rapping lawyer?

Smitty: I do a lot of things the government wouldn’t recommend. Why would I stop at something you wouldn’t recommend?

Heather: He showed up at my door shit-faced and crying, all listening to Lionel Richie and James Taylor and shit, then tried to make a move on me.
