Slings Quotes


I`d be dead without my sense of humor. I can`t imagine processing the shit we are slogging our way through in life without it. In a twenty-four-hour space, you get an acute sense of how all of this injustice and out-rage is absurd. There are things that are truly serious, like when one loses his health or gets into a life- threatening accident. But the rest of it.... If you can`t laugh your way through life, then you are fucked. Humor was the first form of armor I ever wore to counteract my self-image. The first girl I ever asked out on a date laughed at me, because she thought I was kidding. While I didn`t cry on the surface, inside I was weeping. But outwardly I made a joke out of the situation. So humor has always been my shield against the slings and arrows. I turn them into something satiric.

- Ron Perlman

He who slings mud generally loses ground.

- Ahmed Bedier

The people who actually do things always suffer the slings and arrows of those who don`t.

- Alan McGlade

To be or not to be that is the question. Whether `tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them.

- William Shakespeare
