"There are some who desire knowledge merely for its own sake; and that is shameful curiosity. And there are others who desire to know, in order that they may themselves be known; and that is vanity, disgraceful too. Others again desire knowledge in order to acquire money or preferment by it; that too is a discreditable quest. But there are also some who desire knowledge, that they may build up the souls of others with it; and that is charity. Others, again, desire it that they may themselves be built up thereby; and that is prudence. Of all these types, only the last two put knowledge to the right use."
-St. Bernard

"The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins - but in the heart of its strength lies weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back.
Love is more than a candle.
Love can ignite the stars."

"Your analogies really are the best."
"I know. I'm like a shark. I just have to... keep making analogies."
-Tycho and Gabe, Penny Arcade

"If you see the Noid, tell him if he ruins the freshness of my pizza, I'll snap his neck."
-Adam West

"Its just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. Then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns. And also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?"
-Fry, Futurama

these are some work quotes, may not be as funny as when you're surrounded by other women in maid outfits (I work in a fancy 10 room upscale inn that dosent allow children)
bear in mind that we could make a sailor blush, so if you're faint of heart read no further. and do keep in mind we're joking,but it makes being a maid enjoyable... slightly.

most common quote said by me while cleaning bathrooms/showers:
"Oh god I hope that's soap"

my boss (who's 26) instructing somebody on cleaning the whirlpool:
worker: "How many hairs can i leave in here?"
boss: "this is a five star hotel so only two max. Holiday Inn allows eight."

myself when I feel a strange object wrapped in the bed sheets:
"Oh god I hope that's the [tv] remote."

one of my co-workers cleaning a bathroom floor:
"I'm dead serious, Sasquach must have been sighted in here last night. no human could shed this much in one day."

maid one: "Is that a pillow fort?"
maid two: "I think its more like a pyramid."

"Don't look at me, all I'm good for is cleaning toilets."

coworker explaining to me why it's important to make sure the door to the service stairs is locked:
"It like being in an insane asylum, we want to keep all the crazy people up there."

Boss: "If we ever find a dead person in a room I quit."
myself: "Amen."
co-worker: "me too."

"I don't want to find any more suprises in this room unless it's in the form of a large tip."

"We're going to need some serious therapy after cleaning this room."

a peaceful afternoon hand-pressing sheets in the ironing room:
"Quiet blondie or thoes nylons will become a permanent part of your skin."
followed by a pause and the speaker trying to maintain a serious face

so next time you run a campaign and an inn is involved, give a small cameo to the housekeeping staff. they've seen things that would make an ordinary person insane.

You're doing a good job, of course everything you've made in the last four hours are rags, but you've made them in a very efficient manner.

No I don't know what wrong with it, that's your job. I just know there is something wrong with it.

Don't make me get out my green marker.

Socks not picked up, yarn not tied on, not using the blue lights or the blue dye, what do you do for the 8 hours you are here?

That's your opinion. It's my job to tell you that you are wrong.
