1. ''Chuck Norris has a bear carpet in his house. The bear isn't dead, it's just afraid to move.'' -Jordan Murray

2. “That's why when major badasses greet each other in movies they don't say anything, they just nod. The nod means: 'I am a badass and I recognize that you too are a badass,' but they don't say anything because they're Wolverine and Magneto and it would mess up their vibe to explain.” -Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

3. “I practice karate moves when I think nobody is watching. It’s all part of being a real American badass, I guess. Chicks dig it. I mean they would, if they ever looked and caught me in a moment of awesomeness.
” -Jarod Kintz, This Book Title is Invisible

4. “Being bad feels pretty good, huh?" - John Bender/John Hughes, The Breakfast Club

8. Daryl Dixon: [about Merle] ''Toughest asshole I ever met, my brother. Feed him a hammer, he'd crap out nails.” -The Walking Dead

13. ''You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.'' -Winston S. Churchill

14. ''The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.'' -Jack Kerouac, On the Road

15. ''The future belongs to the few of us still willing to get our hands dirty.'' -Roland Tiangco

16. ''I do not care what car you drive, where you live. If you know someone who knows someone who knows someone. If your clothes are this year's cutting edge. If you are A list or B list or never-heard-of-you list. If your trust fund is unlimited. I only care about the words that flutter from your mind. They are the only thing you own. The only thing I will remember you by. I will not fall in love with your bones or skin. I will not fall in love with the places you have been. I will not fall in love with anything but the words that flutter from your extraordinary mind.'' -Andre Jordan

17. ''Come to the edge, he said. They said: We are afraid. Come to the edge, he said. They came. He pushed them and they flew.'' -Guillaume Apollinaire
