MEMORABLE QUOTES EXPLAINED
"Screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place"
Bender points out that the world we live in isn't perfect even if we want it to be. He tells us that problems like screws falling out occur frequently. "You see us as you want to see us. In the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions."
This quote comes from the letter to Mr Vernon. It is just another way of saying, you see what you want to see. Mr Vernon doesn't care about the students, he thinks of them as objects. He doesn't get to know them. "We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all."
This is a very true quote, everybody is weird in our their own ways. However, some people are better at keeping their bizarreness from others. "You ought to spend less time trying to impress people. You might be better off."
This is a remark made by Mr Vernon to John Bender. This means that he should be more be should be more self smart and true to himself instead of doing lots of bad things in order to impress other people. |
"Being bad feels pretty good. Huh?"
Bender again is the one which delivers the meaningful quote. He says that doing the wrong thing feels so right, which is actually true. "When I look in at myself you know… And I see me, I don't like what I see."
Brian shows us his low self-esteem in this quote. Telling us he doesn't except himself for who he is and that he isn't happy with his appearance. "… And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds are immune to your consultations. They're quite aware of what they are going through." - David Bowie
He is telling the older generation that kids aren't stupid, they know what they are doing and do not need advice. "Cause I'm telling the truth, that makes me a bitch?"
Claire says this when she says she would not acknowledge Brian on Monday when they go back to school. The quote is another way of saying the truth hurts. |
