Quotent Quotables

Random quotes, mostly taken out of context.

Prof. Moran, Torts

“A doctor says you have liver cancer and you have 6 months to live, but you do better if they say you have liver cancer and we’ll do our best to keep you alive. I mean sometimes it’s better when you don’t have a deadline…no pun intended.”

“Dr. Shriro [classmate] is out to get me, he’s trying to cut me open” (voice of schizo).

“Let’s say I see Bill Gates drowning, he says, ‘Help me Moran, help me.’
‘Oh you didn’t take swimming lessons? What’s it worth to you
Bill?’

‘Anything Moran, anything.’

‘Fine I’ll take the estate in Seattle.’

I rescue him and what does the ingrate do? Not pay up because the contract was under duress. Should we have a reward system?”

“I hate to break it to you, but your friends are not your family, and I don’t care what the phone companies are trying to tell you”

“Oh come on don’t give up on liability so easily.”

“I hate to make the institution sound suffocating, but it’s a lot harder to get out of marriage than employment.”

“You’re not willing to sacrifice your life for this malfunctioning projector?”

“Now it’s clear that this person does not give a license to enter the property because Phido is wearing a sign that says ‘I hate solicitors’ or better yet ‘I bite solicitors.’”

Prof. Westen, Crim. Law

“guys walk by a window and see someone undressing…they stop and look.” 10/7/04

“Think about this because I’m going to call on you to talk about your last sexual encounter. Oh fuck, I’m not going to do that.” 10/21/04

***
Case Law (Love that was just not meant to be)

"Linda Riss was terrorized for six months by one Pugach who had formerly dated her. He warned that if he could not have her, 'no one lese will have you, and when I get through with you, no one else will want you.' She sought police protection unsuccessfully. She then became engaged to another man and at a celebration party she received a call saying that this was her last chance. She again sought police help but was refused. The next day a thug hired by Pugach threw lye in the plaintiff's face, leaving her permanently scarred, blind in one eye, and with little vision in the other." Riss v. City of New York, 22 N.Y.2d 579 (1968).

“Just as a side not, once Pugach was released, he and Riss got married. He was later in the news because he cheated on her.” -- Prof. Moran.
