I’m a great quitter. It’s one of the few things I do well. I come from a long line of quitters. — George Costanza · 1993This quitting thing, it's a hard habit to break once you start. — Coach Morris Buttermaker · 1976Give up, just quit, because in this life, you can't win. Yeah, you can try, but in the end you're just gonna lose, big time, because the world is run by the Man. The Man, oh, you don't know the Man? Well, he's everywhere. In the White House, down the hall, Miss Mullins, she's the Man. And the Man ruined the ozone, and he's burning down the Amazon, and he kidnapped Shamu and put her in a chlorine tank, ok? And there used to be a way to stick it to the Man. It was called rock 'n roll, but guess what, oh no, the Man ruined that, too, with a little thing called MTV! So don't waste your time trying to make anything cool or pure or awesome 'cause the Man is just gonna call you a fat washed up loser and crush your soul. So do yourselves a favor and just give up! — Dewey Finn · 2003You know the message you're sending out to the world with these sweatpants? You're telling the world, "I give up.
