Terry Pratchett's "Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socio-economic unfairness". The best quote I've ever read about why being poor can be so expensive.

Can we stop making live action remakes of everything and start making muppet remakes of every film and musical

We don't need more remakes of old movies. We need more MUPPETS remakes of old movies.
