Debating with him at the Dispatch Box has been exciting, fascinating, fun, an enormous challenge and, from my point of view, wholly unproductive in every sense.

Drinking was particularly fun and fashionable in the '50s. Drugs started to creep in and do their rather remote work in the late '60s and '70s. And then in the '80s and '90s everyone started to get terribly serious — drinking water all the time — or taking drugs. Poor old booze took a back seat.

Christopher Plummer

Worshiping the earth is more fun than going to church. It's also closer. We can just step off the sidewalk.

We'd better double up in the shower."

A million fucking message boards, email, Twitter, any number of free tools, being limited only by time and your imagination? If I'd had the internet in 1988 I WOULD OWN AN ENTIRE COUNTRY BY NOW AND WOULD PUT HUNDREDS OF YOU TO DEATH EACH DAY JUST FOR FUN AND IT WOULD BE THE LAW

I can't imagine anything worse than being required to have fun.

Scott Westerfeld

I've been learning a lot about myself from reading about all the stuff I've been up to, not based on any form of truth. I lead a pretty boring life — I sit at home, I'm on the Internet, I eat cereal — that's a typical night for me.
I read online about all the places I've been out partying and all the women I've been out partying with. I'm like, "Wow, I should probably go to that place. It sounds like fun. It sounds like I had a good time there." I'm kind of jealous of the life I'm supposedly leading.

Some people think that mathematics is a serious business that must always be cold and dry; but we think mathematics is fun, and we aren't ashamed to admit the fact.

Concrete mathematics is full of appealing patterns; the manipulations are not always easy, but the answers can be astonishingly attractive.

We judge people in areas where we're vulnerable to shame, especially picking folks who are doing worse than we're doing. If I feel good about my parenting, I have no interest in judging other people's choices. If I feel good about my body, I don't go around making fun of other people's weight or appearance. We're hard on each other because we're using each other as a launching pad out of our own perceived deficiency.

It's entirely up to you, Artie. He lives or dies by your word. (Acheron) No, akri! Don't ask her that. She never let me have no fun. She a mean goddess! (Simi)

Sherrilyn Kenyon

Introverts almost never cause me trouble and are usually much better at what they do than extroverts.

Extroverts are amazed and baffled by how much some introverts get done and assume that they, the extroverts, are somehow responsible.

The faith that education would destroy intolerance is false. It may be partly true, but people find that intolerance is fun.

Richard Summerbell

You're really not that good a mechanic, Edward. Maybe you should have Rosalie take a look at it tonight, just so you look good if Mike decides to let you help, you know. Not that it wouldn't be fun to watch his face if Rosalie showed up to help. But since Rosalie is supposed to be across the country attending college, I guess that's not the best idea. Too bad.

Stephenie Meyer

Coming of age in a fascist police state will not be a barrel of fun for anybody, much less for people like me, who are not inclined to suffer Nazis gladly and feel only contempt for the cowardly flag-suckers who would gladly give up their outdated freedom to live for the mess of pottage they have been conned into believing will be freedom from fear.

Hunter S. Thompson

I had it then. Soda fought for fun, Steve for hatred, Darry for pride, and Two-Bit for conformity. Why do I fight? I thought, and couldn't think of any real good reason. There isn't any real good reason for fighting except self-defense.
