Sentences I have loved

A few doozies from the past few months:

"I like women from countries that have sustained political turmoil. Western culture seems to forge women that are valueless and inane."

That's from what is alleged to be Julian Assange's okcupid profile which now you need to sign in to be able to see. If it really is his profile, this seems a wee bit hypocritical to me. Isn't he supposed to be all about transparency?? But really, what can you expect from someone charming enough to write the above sentences in his quest for love?

"'If there was anyone who kept their calm, it was certainly me,' Mr. Sarkozy added."

From an NY Times article. It doesn't really matter what it was about.

"As a 16-year-old girl in the company of three adult men she was the least likely of the four to be carrying one, let alone two, heavy handguns. It is far more probable that she relied on the pocketknife found in her brassiere for any necessary self-protection."

This is from a 1979 Supreme Court case -- Ulster County v. Allen. I just think it's badass.
