The quanity of speech is not always indicative of the quality of thought.

Quote from a Del Rey interview with Ray Bradbury:
"Del Rey: In the "Afterword" to Fahrenheit 451, you write about how the characters of Montag, Clarisse, and Beatty continued to speak to you long after the book was finished. Do your characters always come alive for you in this way...and are they always so insistent?
Ray Bradbury: Yes. Oh, yes. I just let them speak. I don't control them; I simply give them a podium and let them talk to me. All my good stories are told to me by the characters. I don't write my stories. They write me."

"They are Man's," said the Spirit, looking down upon them. "And they cling to me, appealing from their fathers. This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware of them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased." - Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

From Judging Amy:
Maxine: You know what I read the other day? That Denver, Colorado is moving closer to San Francisco, California by an inch every ten years.
Amy: Is this relevant?
Maxine: An inch every ten years. That's the way the Rocky Mountains were formed, and that's the way the world changes. Not by stamping your foot to get your way. Not even by the bang of a gavel. It's by the choices that we make, you know, all the time. You do what you think is right, every time. Slowly, the world starts to change. That's how we leave our imprint on life -- an inch every ten years.
Amy: Where do you come up with this stuff?
Maxine: I don't know; just pops into my head. It's a curse, really.

"Sooner or later we begin to understand that love is more than verses on valentines and romance in the movies. We begin to know that love is here and now, real and true, the most important thing in our lives. For love is the creator of our favourite memories and the foundation of our fondest dreams. Love is a promise that is always kept, a fortune that can never be spent, a seed that can flourish in even the most unlikely of places. And this radiance that never fades, this mysterious and magical joy, is the greatest treasure of all - one known only by those who love." - Unknown

Don't you mean - why does it smurf when you pee?
