“BULLIES ARE AWFUL, FRIENDS ARE BETTER There will be people who will betray you. There will be people who will bully you. There will be people who will try to devour you. Find the people that bring you strength. Find the people who will give you courage. Find the people who will fill you with love. Because, they matter more than all the bullies in the world. You matter more. Bullies are awful, friends are better.”

“Bullies do not just wake up and decide to be one. They are people who have or are experiencing emotional or verbal abuse. All you can do is not retaliate but show them love. Doing so, allows them see what they are missing and need. You can let them see the other side of life when you show love not hurt. After all, we are all products of love and we must choose to demonstrate that above all else.”

“Bullies have issues within themselves and they are uncomfortable in their skin. So, they’d rather make someone feel bad to pick themselves up. I wonder why people want to be so cruel with their words. The kids that bully me are so rude, nasty and disrespectful. How can a person feel good for making someone else feel bad? I do not understand.”

“Bullish or bearish are terms used by people who do not engage in practicing uncertainty, like the television commentators, or those who have no experience in handling risk. Alas, investors and businesses are not paid in probabilities; they are paid in dollars. Accordingly, it is not how likely an event is to happen that matters, it is how much is made when it happens that should be the consideration.”

“Bulls can do nothing to demand justice. They can only defend themselves as best they can in a fight with a pre-determined ending and die never knowing why they were forced to endure such a painful and prolonged death. It's up to us, as a civilized society, to call for an end to the Running of the Bulls and bullfighting.”

“Bullshit,” he snapped, and I swallowed the irrational urge to giggle that always accompanied him cussing. “You and I both know that’s not true, and that’s okay. No one in their right mind would expect you to be okay.'' But I _had_ to be okay. Didn’t he understand that? What had happened with Misha sucked donkey butt, but everything I felt surrounding that was filed and tucked away, and it was going to stay that way forever and a day. It had to be that way. I had a job to do, a duty to fulfill.”

“Bullshit is as common as lame poetry and more unavoidable than those armed men who are there to protect you from Bullshit like this is straight from the lab and god loves you and the government doesn't want war and it's the best movie since Repo Man and if i stopped drinking the world might end anyway and breathanarianism and immortality for anything besides Bullshit that's as common as murder and jailhouse tattoos selling bunk drugs in paint chip hotels where a cigarette burn on the mattress tells you more about death than a splatter movie festival.”

“Bullshit is unavoidable whenever circumstances require someone to talk without knowing what he is talking about. Thus the production of bullshit is stimulated whenever a person’s obligations or opportunities to speak about some topic exceed his knowledge of the facts that are relevant to that topic. This discrepancy is common in public life, where people are frequently impelled – whether by their own propensities or by the demands of others – to speak extensively about matters of which they are to some degree ignorant. Closely related instances arise from the widespread conviction that it is the responsibility of a citizen in a democracy to have opinions about everything, or at least everything that pertains to the conduct of his country’s affairs.”

“Bullshit jobs proliferate today in large part because of the peculiar nature of managerial feudalism that has come to dominate wealthy economiesーbut to an increasing degree, all economies. They cause misery because human happiness is always caught up in a sense of having effects on the world; a feeling which most people, when they speak of their work, express through a language of social value. Yet at the same time they are aware that the greater the social value produced by a job, the less one is likely to be paid to do it.”

“Bullshit, la Sicilia non esiste, gli sentiamo dire in tono piuttosto agitato dalla cucina. Io lo so perché ci sono nato. Senza offesa, bro', ma è tutta la sera che dici cazzate. Cosa succede?, chiedo, portando in tavola il pesce che Pupetta ha preparato per secondo. Dice Sicilia, e tz, fa tz con la bocca, l'amico americano. E basta, cazzo. Ma non si possono più sentire queste storie sulla specialità di quest'isola di merda. Come se in Sardegna non ci fosse il mare, come se in Irlanda non avessero la campagna, come se in Australia non ci battesse il sole. Tesoro, sono cazzate. Ha bevuto un po' troppo, cerca di spiegare Pupetta al fidanzato. [...] No, no, lascialo continuare, dice però John, è interessante, quando i siciliani si arrabbiano è interessante, mi ricordano certi personaggi di Pirandello. Pirandello fa cacare, dice Gaga. Tomasi di Lampedusa fa cacare. E Camilleri, anche Camilleri fa cacare?, chiede l'americano. Camilleri è il male assoluto. Dovrebbero imprigionarlo e rileggerli tutti i romanzi di Montalbano fino a che non implori pietà. Bisognerebbe mettere mano alla pistola ogni volta che qualcuno dice della splendida decadenza de dell'irrimediabilità di questo posto, come fanno Camilleri Pirandello Tomasi. Bisognerebbe appiccare il fuoco, incendiare tutto, la, togliere ogni punto di riferimento agli isolani e al resto del mondo. Bisognerebbe, ecco, bisognerebbe che qualcuno si decidesse a scrivere un piccolo manuale per organizzare una guerra lampo, radere al suolo la Sicilia e resettare la mente di quelli un po' cretini come te. Senza offesa, tesoro, era solo un esempio.”
