"Let's put a smile on that face."

lu: (Why so serious?)
The Dark Knight came out today, and I'm really giddy. I've been dying to see this movie ever since I saw the first teaser, and I'm pretty sure it'll be awesome.

It's funny to think that practically no one will be rooting for Batman, though. I'm usually very much into villains—and Joker was always a favourite—so I guess it'll be weird to be part of the majority that is usually for the Good Guys.

You like bowling, don't you, Montag?

If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. If the government is inefficient, topheavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel like they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy.
