I love rules and I love following them, unless that rule is stupid.

You're kinda cool but I know better than to break the rules Of messing with a lesson that I'll never learn. I'll go from bad to worse and later back to better. But I'll never better bridges that I'm bent to burn.

We recognize authority based on whether we feel we could attain authority by the rules by which the authority was obtained.

It was all my fault. I'd let them in, I'd broken my rules, and I was back at square fucking one!"- Jocelyn Butler

Rules meant order. Without them they’d be killing each other. It began with butting in, with parking in disabled spaces, with smoking in elevators. And it ended in murder.

I think a gentleman is someone who holds the comfort of other people above their own. The instinct to do that is inside every good man, I believe. The rules about opening doors and buying dinner and all of that other 'gentleman' stuff is a chess game, especially these days.
