I am trying to be civil

Sensible

As you say civilized

I am a creation of your civilization

The negro you need

Guess which came first, dogs or fleas?

Given a spark of madness is the madness of insisting that all is, when all are miserable.

Difficult to free fools from chains they revere. When seeking revenge, dig two graves; one for madness, one for yourself.

Christians praise a trinity but are monotheistic

Media is fiction we worship because its unrealistic

Those thieves found heaven on earth then buried their sins in gilded graves
