Perhaps violence, like pornography, is some kind of an evolutionary standby system, a last-resort device for throwing a wild joker into the game? ~ J.G. Ballard
Joker quotes by J.G. Ballard
Is it just me or is it getting crazier out there? ~ Joaquin Phoenix
Joker quotes by Joaquin Phoenix
I don't know about you, but every time some joker points me out as I walk through an airport wearing extra-small Dolfin shorts, a tank top and leg warmers, I get a little upset. ~ Richard Simmons
Joker quotes by Richard Simmons
Show Dr. Princi your teeth. That's right, let's see 'em all. Christ, Sparks, is that your tongue or are you swallowing a squirrel? Keep moving - ~ Thomas Harris
Joker quotes by Thomas Harris
Meditate, he'd said. Jingo Jingo was such a joker. ~ Devon Monk
Joker quotes by Devon Monk
(after Monster T shot himself)
"Smart guy," Joker said, and he laughed. "Lotta brains. ~ Marv Wolfman
Joker quotes by Marv Wolfman
You can be committed to somebody because of ego: 'I said I was going to be with this joker for the rest of my life, so I'm just going to do it.' Or you can be committed because you have a deeply rooted connection. ~ Jada Pinkett Smith
Joker quotes by Jada Pinkett Smith
Madness is like gravity, all it takes is a little push.- The Joker ~ Paul Dani
Joker quotes by Paul Dani
I was one of those whose school report would always say, 'Could pay more attention.' I spent my time trying to be the centre of attention or the class joker instead of knuckling down. Far from the perfect student. ~ Suzanne Shaw
Joker quotes by Suzanne Shaw
True love is finding someone whose demons play well with yours" - The Joker ~ The Joker Batman Arkham City
Joker quotes by The Joker Batman Arkham City
Did you ever think one day you'd live through a global pandemic, with a doomsday virus, and the Joker is president? Sounds like a bad made-for-TV scifi movie. ~ Oliver Markus Malloy
Joker quotes by Oliver Markus Malloy
If I didnt promote Joker, then who promoted ~ Sonakshi Sinha
Joker quotes by Sonakshi Sinha
Private Joker is silly and he's ignorant but he's got guts and guts is enough. ~ Stanley Kubrick
Joker quotes by Stanley Kubrick
I don't belong anywhere.
I am neither a heart, a diamond, a club, nor a spade. I am neither a King, a Jack, an Eight, nor an Ace.
As I am here - I am merely the Joker, and who that is I have had to find out for myself.
Every time I toss my head, the jingling bells remind me that I have no family.
I have no number - and no trade either.
I have gone around observing your activities from the outside.
Because of this I have also been able to see things to which you have been blind.
Every morning you have gone to work, but you have never been fully awake.
It is different for the Joker, because he was put into this world with a flaw:
he sees too deeply and too much.
Truth is a lonely thing. ~ Jostein Gaarder
Joker quotes by Jostein Gaarder
Because once I didn't care about the rules anymore, I had all the power. ~ Adam Glass
Joker quotes by Adam Glass
Fifteen minutes later I'm hunched over the steering wheel of a two-seater that looks like something you'd find in your corn flakes packet. The Smart is insanely cute and compact, does about seventy miles to a gallon, and is the ideal second car for nipping about town but I'm not nipping about town. I'm going flat out at maybe a hundred and fifty kilometers per hour on the autobahn while some joker is shooting at me from behind with a cannon that fires Porsches and Mercedes. Meanwhile, I'm stuck driving something that handles like a turbocharged baby buggy. I've got my fog lights on in a vain attempt to deter the other road users from turning me into a hood ornament, but the jet wash every time another executive panzer overtakes me keeps threatening to roll me right over onto my roof. And that's before you factor in the deranged Serbian truck drivers driven mad with joy by exposure to a motorway that hasn't been cluster-bombed and then resurfaced by the lowest bidder. ~ Charles Stross
Joker quotes by Charles Stross
People looked at him as an orange-faced evil clown with silly hair. Like the Joker in Batman comics. Make Gotham great again! ~ Oliver Markus Malloy
Joker quotes by Oliver Markus Malloy
I don't wanna be the joker who makes eyes full of tears in the end ~ Ags Orachimaruu
Joker quotes by Ags Orachimaruu
All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day. ~ Alan Moore
Joker quotes by Alan Moore
You're looking...good enough to eat. Figuratively speaking, I'm strictly vegan. ~ Marv Wolfman
Joker quotes by Marv Wolfman
My name, the McGregor name, my family's motto ... means royal is in my blood. That goes way back. So for [Aldo] to say he is the king and I am the joker, if this was a different time, I would invade his favela on horseback and kill anyone that was not fit to work. But we are in a new time. So I'll whoop his ass in July. ~ Conor McGregor
Joker quotes by Conor McGregor
The joker in the deck of lesbian fidelity is female vanity: no woman of fifty is going to undress in front of a woman of twenty no matter how much she might lust for her. ~ Florence King
Joker quotes by Florence King
Out in the country it was not uncommon to discover that she had slipped away, alone, out to the lake, maybe, or down to the cellar, where once I found her sitting in the big marooned sleigh, reading, her fur coat thrown over her knees. Things would have been terrible strange and unbalanced without her. She was the Queen who finished out the suit of dark Jacks, dark King, and Joker. ~ Donna Tartt
Joker quotes by Donna Tartt
I am good at many things. And I never do them for free ~ Joker The Dark Knight.
Joker quotes by Joker The Dark Knight.
Great!" I rubbed my hands together. "Which one first?"
Anders's eyebrows rose. "Tory, that's a hefty request. Those machines are extremely expensive. We rarely log time on them for side projects." He pauses, lips pursed. "Your teacher couldn't have reasonably expected you to conduct a full microscopic analysis. How would you? I think you'll be okay with just the swab."
"Of course we will." Hi elbow-jabbed my side. "Tory's such a kidder. Let's run the mass spectrometer." He flashed a "get a load of this guy" face at Anders while aiming a thumb back at me. "What a joker! ~ Kathy Reichs
Joker quotes by Kathy Reichs
The wine was red wine, and had stained the ground of the narrow street in the suburb of Saint Antoine, in Paris, where it was spilled. It had stained many hands, too, and many faces, and many naked feet, and many wooden shoes. The hands of the man who sawed the wood, left red marks on the billets; and the forehead of the woman who nursed her baby, was stained with the stain of the old rag she wound about her head again. Those who had been greedy with the staves of the cask, had acquired a tigerish smear about the mouth; and one tall joker so besmirched, his head more out of a long squalid bag of a nightcap than in it, scrawled upon a wall with his finger dipped in muddy wine-lees - BLOOD. ~ Charles Dickens
Joker quotes by Charles Dickens
Dickinson is my hero because she was a joker, because she would never explain, because as a poet she confronted pain, dread and death, and because she was capable of speaking of those matters with both levity and seriousness. She's my hero because she was a metaphysical adventurer. ~ Helen Oyeyemi
Joker quotes by Helen Oyeyemi
Madness is the emergency exit. You can just step outside, and close the door on all those dreadful things that happened. You can lock them away ... forever.
The Joker ~ Alan Moore
Joker quotes by Alan Moore
I took a step toward him, planning to knock him out of his chair, then pour milk on him for good measure.

Selene put a hand on my shoulder. "Don't bother."

She was right, and I knew it. The Will wouldn't let me hit him. I contemplated using Mr. Ankil's snatch-and-smack trick, but I hadn't practiced it yet, and Lance wasn't carrying his wand, just the stupid joker playing card he liked to fiddle with whenever he was bored, weaving it in between his fingers like he was some kind of card shark.

I'd once asked Selene what the deal was with the card, and she explained that Lance was obsessed with the Joker from Batman. In an ordinary high school, he would've been ridiculed for this behavior, but not at Arkwell. Most magickind teenagers were fanatics about ordinary pop culture. Almost everybody was a Comic-Con–attending, play-dress-up fan boy. And he had the nerve to make fun of me. Go figure. ~ Mindee Arnett
Joker quotes by Mindee Arnett
I just hope my death makes more cents than my life ~ Joaquin Phoenix
Joker quotes by Joaquin Phoenix
Rest in peace to Heath Ledger but I'm no joker ~ Drake
Joker quotes by Drake
I'm a traveling practical joker. That's my line of work. ~ Colin Mochrie
Joker quotes by Colin Mochrie
So once I thought of the villain with a sense of humor, I began to think of a name and the name "the Joker" immediately came to mind. There was the association with the Joker in the deck of cards, and I probably yelled literally, 'Eureka!' because I knew I had the name and the image at the same time. ~ Jerry Robinson
Joker quotes by Jerry Robinson
How can two people hate so much without knowing each other? ~ Alan Moore
Joker quotes by Alan Moore
Dean 'Ruckus' Cole was a different kind of asshole to Baron 'Vicious' Spencer. He fucked you over with a polite smile on his face. In that sense, he was the Joker. In his mix of confidence, cockiness, good looks, and money, there was a dash of insanity thrown in. Enough to let you know that he meant every word he said. ~ L.J. Shen
Joker quotes by L.J. Shen
One mustn't be so cocksure, Joker says. Bad habit, he repeats. ~ Jostein Gaarder
Joker quotes by Jostein Gaarder
And as for small difficulties and worryings, prospects of sudden disaster, peril of life and limb; all these, and death itself, seem to him only sly, good-natured hits, and jolly punches in the side bestowed by the unseen and unaccountable old joker. ~ Herman Melville
Joker quotes by Herman Melville
Madness, as you know. Is like Gravity. All it takes is a little push. ~ The Joker - Heath Ledger
Joker quotes by The Joker - Heath Ledger
The third quality that is needed for a scientist to become a public icon is wisdom. Besides being a famous joker and a famous genius, Feynman was also a wise human being whose answers to serious questions made sense. ~ Freeman Dyson
Joker quotes by Freeman Dyson
Expect the bullshit. But never accept it!!!! ~ Joker The Dark Knight.
Joker quotes by Joker The Dark Knight.
If a pot can multiply. One day Nasrudin lent his cooking pots to a neighbour, who was giving a feast. The neighbour returned them, together with one extra one – a very tiny pot. 'What is this?' asked Nasrudin. 'According to law, I have given you the offspring of your property which was born when the pots were in my care,' said the joker. Shortly afterwards Nasrudin borrowed his neighbour's pots, but did not return them. The man came round to get them back. 'Alas!' said Nasrudin, 'they are dead. We have established, have we not, that pots are mortal?'. ~ Idries Shah
Joker quotes by Idries Shah
No old lady called her old man sweetie. Joker fucking loved it from Carrie. ~ Kristen Ashley
Joker quotes by Kristen Ashley
It's not just that," Chief Porter said. "A guy who once would have raped and killed a woman, now a lot of times he also has to cut off her lips and mail them to us or take her eyes for a souvenir and keep them in his freezer at home. There's more flamboyant craziness these days." Giving the buttered cinnamon roll a reprieve, Ozzie said, "Maybe it's all these superhero movies with all their supervillains. Some psychopath who used to be satisfied raping and murdering, these days he thinks that he should be in a Batman movie, he wants to be the Joker or the Penguin." "No real-life bad guy wants to be the Penguin," I assured him. "Norman Bates was happy just dressing up like his mother and stabbing people," Chief Porter said, "but Hannibal Lecter has to cut off their faces and eat their livers with fava beans. The role models have become more intense. ~ Dean Koontz
Joker quotes by Dean Koontz
Life is just like the game of poker, you never know what cards you will get. Sitting against the people, you can either win with the king or live on a joker. Many times in life you are forced to play the blind bet, and achieve overwhelming success, with loads of cash in your pocket or you may reach disastrous conclusions, losing everything you have got.
That's the reason I love playing poker. ~ Prerna Varma
Joker quotes by Prerna Varma
I mumbled something about how it was easy to calculate e to any power using that series (you just substitute the power for x). "Oh yeah?" they said, "Well, then, what's e to the 3.3?" said some joker - I think it was Tukey. I say, "That's easy. It's 27.11." Tukey knows it isn't so easy to compute all that in your head. "Hey! How'd you do that?" Another guy says, "You know Feynman, he's just faking it. It's not really right." They go to get a table, and while they're doing that, I put on a few more figures: "27.1126," I say. They find it in the table. "It's right! But how'd you do it!" "I just summed the series." "Nobody can sum the series that fast. You must just happen to know that one. How about e to the 3?" "Look," I say. "It's hard work! Only one a day!" "Hah! It's a fake!" they say, happily. "All right," I say, "It's 20.085. ~ Richard Feynman
Joker quotes by Richard Feynman
In my society we know how to say things, but we don't know how to realize them. In my society everyone has a perfect personality in public, and a dirty one behind the curtain. ~ Eyden I.
Joker quotes by Eyden I.
Does it depress you? To know just how alone you really are? ~ The Joker Heath Ledger
Joker quotes by The Joker Heath Ledger
One day I was standing with my stage manager, Sandy Prudden, and Buddy Sheffield watching as Kermit the Frog (with the help of the late Jim Henson) sweetly sang a song. Sandy was always a big joker. He sidled up to me and said, "Isn't it amazing the way Kermit can sing like that with somebody's hand up his ass." Without missing a beat, I came back with, "Shoot, that ain't nothin'. I did that for seven years on the 'The Porter Wagoner Show. ~ Dolly Parton
Joker quotes by Dolly Parton
With fame, money and sex settled, he had to find something else to fight, and like any honorable man he chose to fight his own people. And that was how Byron the sentimental poet of graveyards and lost loves became the Satanic joker all England loved to hate. ~ John C. Dolan
Joker quotes by John C. Dolan
I think you have to be crazy not to want to work on the Joker! I can't think of many characters, heroes or villains, that are as malleable as him. He really can be interpreted in so many different ways, and generally, people don't really want to scratch the surface because you can get into some really dark territory real fast. ~ Lee Bermejo
Joker quotes by Lee Bermejo
Racism is apparently a card to be played; much like the joker, it's a
very versatile card that can be used in any situation that might require
it. Only non-white people ever play this card to excuse their own
personal failings - even those of us that are materially successful.
Humans racialised as white cannot play the race card - just like they
cannot be terrorists - so European national empires colonising almost
the entire globe and enacting centuries of unapologetically and openly
racist legislation and practices, churning out an impressively large body
of proudly racist justificatory literature and cinema and much else has
had no impact on shaping human history, it has really just been black
and brown people playing cards. ~ Akala
Joker quotes by Akala
People who know me, they know I have a sense of humor, I'm a bit of a joker, a bit of a clown really, and I would love someone to exploit that side of me and send me a romantic comedy. ~ Gary Oldman
Joker quotes by Gary Oldman
Everyone is irrational some of the time and in particular everyone is susceptible to the availability error. I give a final striking example ... In 1969, Jerzy Kosinsky's novel Steps won the American National Book Award for fiction. Eight years later some joker had it retyped and sent the manuscript with no title and under a false name to fourteen major publishers and thirteen literary agents in the US, including ... the firm that had originally published it. Of the twenty-seven people to whom it was submitted, not one recognised that it had already been published. Moreover, all twenty-seven rejected it. All it lacked was Jerzy Kosinsky's name to create the halo effect: without the name, it was seen as an indifferent book. ~ Stuart Sutherland

- Yes.

- Yes.
- Careful! Do not say this oath thoughtlessly! ... Desire becomes surrender, surrender becomes power. You want this?

Joker & Harley Quinn ~ Suicide Squad (2016 Movie Directed By David Ayer)
Joker quotes by Suicide Squad (2016 Movie Directed By David Ayer)
So, I'm thinking of a name for a villain that has a sense of humor. I thought of 'The Joker' as a name, and as soon as I thought that, I associate it with the playing card, as my family had a tradition of champion playing; my brother was a contract champion bridge player. There were always cards around the house. ~ Jerry Robinson
Joker quotes by Jerry Robinson
Impossible is my specialty."

-Marissa Meyer, Heartless ~ Marissa Meyer
Joker quotes by Marissa Meyer
Only in fiction are the great evils committed by caricatures of malevolence: Darth Vader, Lord Voldemort, Sauron or the Joker. In real history the great evils are committed by people seeking to restore a romanticised golden age, willing to sacrifice their lives and the lives of others in what they regard as a great and even holy cause. In some cases they see themselves as 'doing God's work'. They 'seem happy'. That is how dreams of utopia turn into nightmares of hell. ~ Jonathan Sacks
Joker quotes by Jonathan Sacks
A joker is near akin to a buffoon; and neither of them is the least related to wit. ~ Lord Chesterfield
Joker quotes by Lord Chesterfield
The truth is, Colonel, that there's no divine spark, bless you. There's many a man alive no more value than a dead dog. Believe me, when you've seen them hang each other...Equality? Christ in Heaven. What I'm fighting for is the right to prove I'm a better man than many. Where have you seen this divine spark in operation, Colonel? Where have you noted this magnificent equality? The Great White Joker in the Sky dooms us all to stupidity or poverty from birth. no two things on earth are equal or have an equal chance, not a leaf nor a tree. There's many a man worse than me, and some better, but I don't think race or country matters a damn. What matters is justice. 'Tis why I'm here. I'll be treated as I deserve, not as my father deserved. I'm Kilrain, and I God damn all gentlemen. I don't know who me father was and I don't give a damn. There's only one aristocracy, and that's right here - " he tapped his white skull with a thick finger - "and YOU, Colonel laddie, are a member of it and don't even know it. You are damned good at everything I've seen you do, a lovely soldier, an honest man, and you got a good heart on you too, which is rare in clever men. Strange thing. I'm not a clever man meself, but I know it when I run across it. The strange and marvelous thing about you, Colonel darlin', is that you believe in mankind, even preachers, whereas when you've got my great experience of the world you will have learned that good men are rare, much rarer than you think. ~ Michael Shaara
Joker quotes by Michael Shaara
The Joker as sadistic chaos, the Batman as merciless order. This mirror-image theme would come to define the two characters' relationship in the comics and across all media for the next forty years. ~ Glen Weldon
Joker quotes by Glen Weldon
Afraid? Batman's not afraid of anything. It's me. I'm afraid. I'm afraid that The Joker may be right about me. Sometimes ... I question the rationality of my actions. And I'm afraid that when I walk through those asylum gates ... when I walk into Arkham and the doors close behind me ... it'll be just like coming home. ~ Grant Morrison
Joker quotes by Grant Morrison
The clown figure has had so many meanings in different times and cultures. The jolly, well-loved joker familiar to most people is actually but one aspect of this protean creature. Madmen, hunchbacks, amputees, and other abnormals were once considered natural clowns; they were elected to fulfill a comic role which could allow others to see them as ludicrous rather than as terrible reminders of the forces of disorder in the world. But sometimes a cheerless jester was required to draw attention to this same disorder, as in the case of King Lear's morbid and honest fool, who of course was eventually hanged, and so much for his clownish wisdom. Clowns have often had ambiguous and sometimes contradictory roles to play. ("The Last Feast Of The Harlequin") ~ Thomas Ligotti
Joker quotes by Thomas Ligotti
We are the craft of our towns. ~ Vineet Raj Kapoor
Joker quotes by Vineet Raj Kapoor
They believed in Black Power. They'd give it a trial anyway. Everything else had failed. What did they have to lose? And they might win. Who knew? The whale swallowed Jonah. Moses split the Red Sea. Christ rose from the dead. Lincoln freed the slaves. Hitler killed six million Jews. The Africans had got to rule – in some parts of Africa, anyway. The Americans and the Russians have shot the moon. Some joker has made a plastic heart. Anything is possible. ~ Chester Himes
Joker quotes by Chester Himes
I didn't like people rewriting my dialogue. I didn't like the fact that we'd start a comic with the Joker, and by the time we inked it, he would have turned into the Scarecrow. ~ Neil Gaiman
Joker quotes by Neil Gaiman
I may be a criminal lunatic, but I'm an AMERICAN criminal lunatic! ~ John Byrne
Joker quotes by John Byrne
I'd worked with Marlon [Brando] a couple of times, and he was a practical joker. He was far more interested in getting jokes out than getting the words out. We laughed all the time. ~ Johnny Depp
Joker quotes by Johnny Depp
How close, Frost?"
"Real close, boss. I swear on my life."
Joker slowly looked up, eyes glistening with black hope. The fire in his madness was still burning.
"If you're going to swear, swear on something that matters. ~ Marv Wolfman
Joker quotes by Marv Wolfman
Thinking and talking about love leads to Love, which is the enemy. Do not consort with the enemy. Even if those hot-ass actors in the movies make it look cuddly and nice and tempting, don't fall for it. It's the biggest bad in the world, the worst villain ever created by hormone-pumped pubescent morons. It's the Joker, Lex Luthor, that one overweight guy who's always messing with the Scooby-Doo gang. It's the final boss in the massive joke of a video game you call your life. ~ Sara Wolf
Joker quotes by Sara Wolf
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I get my loving on the run ~ Steve Miller Band
Joker quotes by Steve Miller Band
Pvt. Joker is silly and he's ignorant but he's got guts and guts is what counts!"
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman USMC
~ Matthew Modine
Joker quotes by Matthew Modine
The dark eyes are for the villains ... the Grim Reaper,the Joker, zombies. All dark. ~ Lucy Christopher
Joker quotes by Lucy Christopher
I'm a joker who has understood his epoch and has extracted all he possibly could from the stupidity, greed and vanity of his contemporaries. ~ Pablo Picasso
Joker quotes by Pablo Picasso
Kingsley, ever the joker, had his Venator mark tattooed near his unmentionables ~ Melissa De La Cruz
Joker quotes by Melissa De La Cruz
My father, the practical joker, did not care for practical jokes on himself; he did not encourage the practice in me. ~ Lincoln Steffens
Joker quotes by Lincoln Steffens
The relations of a joker to his joke should be as quick and desultory as those of a bee to its flowers. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
Joker quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
In American mah jongg there are five different categories of tiles: Suit tiles, Dragon tiles, Wind tiles, Flower tiles, and Joker tiles - 152 tiles in all. ~ Elaine Sandberg
Joker quotes by Elaine Sandberg
Laughter may instruct but it may also conceal, defending the joker against anger and retaliation: a game is only a game. ~ Margaret Atwood
Joker quotes by Margaret Atwood
In between effect and cause and just beyond the range of normal sight, this glittering joker was dancing in the dragon's jaws. ~ Bruce Cockburn
Joker quotes by Bruce Cockburn
Niki blurted out the news. "Some joker in Africa has done a heart transplant!" "Jesus . . ." Kantrowitz groaned. He knew who had beaten him. "Barnard! ~ Donald McRae
Joker quotes by Donald McRae
It's salt. Why don't you sprinkle some on me, honey? Aren't I just good enough to eat? ~ Grant Morrison
Joker quotes by Grant Morrison
As for Iago's jealousy, one cannot believe that a seriously jealous man could behave towards his wife as Iago behaves towards Emilia, for the wife of a jealous husband is the first person to suffer. Not only is the relation of Iago and Emilia, as we see it on stage, without emotional tension, but also Emilia openly refers to a rumor of her infidelity as something already disposed of.

Some such squire it was
That turned your wit, the seamy side without
And made you to suspect me with the Moor.

At one point Iago states that, in order to revenge himself on Othello, he will not rest till he is even with him, wife for wife, but, in the play, no attempt at Desdemona's seduction is made. Iago does not encourage Cassio to make one, and he even prevents Roderigo from getting anywhere near her.

Finally, one who seriously desires personal revenge desires to reveal himself. The revenger's greatest satisfaction is to be able to tell his victim to his face – "You thought you were all-powerful and untouchable and could injure me with impunity. Now you see that you were wrong. Perhaps you have forgotten what you did; let me have the pleasure of reminding you."

When at the end of the play, Othello asks Iago in bewilderment why he has thus ensnared his soul and body, if his real motive were revenge for having been cuckolded or unjustly denied promotion, he could have said so, instead of refusing to explain. ~ W.H. Auden
Joker quotes by W.H. Auden
When you don't fit in, you become superhuman. You can feel everyone else's eyes on you, stuck like Velcro. You can hear a whisper about you from a mile away. You can disappear, even when it looks like you're still standing right there. You can scream, and nobody hears a sound.
You become the mutant who fell into the vat of acid, the Joker who can't remove his mask, the bionic man who's missing all his limbs and none of his heart.
You are the thing that used to be normal, but that was so long ago, you can't even remember what it was like. ~ Jodi Picoult
Joker quotes by Jodi Picoult
For the murder of Jest, the court joker of Hearts, I sentence this man to death.'
She spoke without feeling, unburdened by love or dreams or the pain of a broken heart. It was a new day in Hearts, and she was the Queen.
'Off with his head ~ Marissa Meyer
Joker quotes by Marissa Meyer
The majority of these old farts are content to crash out in a drunken stupor on the backbenches. They just want to pick up their company directorships at £200,000 a year, claim for everything they ever spend personally on expenses and make sure not to rock the boat. I have better things to do with my time than to waste it by voting a different yarn-spinning joker-in-the-pack in. Whoever's in power is not going to affect me in any way. And if you believe otherwise then you can truly nail your colours to the mast of stupidity ~ Karl Wiggins
Joker quotes by Karl Wiggins
The white light is the joker in the deck. It creates transmutations that are completely unpredictable, which is what makes it fun, which is why it scares the hell out of most people. ~ Frederick Lenz
Joker quotes by Frederick Lenz
Perhaps there is a reason that there is no fool piece on the chessboard. What action, a fool? What strategy, a fool? What use, a fool? Ah, but a fool resides in a deck of cards, a joker, sometimes two. Of no worth, of course. No real purpose. The appearance of a trump, but none of the power: Simply an instrument of chance. Only a dealer may give value to the joker. ~ Christopher Moore
Joker quotes by Christopher Moore
Do you want to know why I use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can't savor all the... little emotions. In... you see, in their last moments, people show you who they really are. So in a way, I know your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which of them were cowards? ~ Christopher J. Nolan
Joker quotes by Christopher J. Nolan
What a brotherband!" he declared. "A thief, a touchy first mate, a shortsighted bear, a joker, two twins who can't tell each other apart, a bookworm and a skirl who doesn't know the right shape for a ship's sail." He beamed at all of them, then added, "I can't think of better qualities in a wolfship's crew. ~ John Flanagan
Joker quotes by John Flanagan
I ask myself, "Why am I so serious?" Everyone else asks me, "Why are you such a joker? ~ T.J. Bowes
Joker quotes by T.J. Bowes
I've had a really weird day, some joker threw bamboo in the penguin enclosure. They all vaulted out. It was a nightmare, it took me all morning to get them back in. ~ Noel Fielding
Joker quotes by Noel Fielding
I don't just randomly kill people ... I kill people when it's funny. ~ Neil Gaiman
Joker quotes by Neil Gaiman
Doctor Harleen Quinzel, one of Arkham's most brilliant and dedicated psychiatrists, was no more. Electroshock. What a wonderful way of destroying a soul, the Joker thought as he watched Quinzel's eyes roll up into their sockets and dribble pour from between her lips. ~ Marv Wolfman
Joker quotes by Marv Wolfman
Life is essentially a circus and we are just playing our roles. Remember life makes everyone 'joker' once in a while. ~ Hemant Pandey
Joker quotes by Hemant Pandey
The world is not about Batman and Robin fighting the Joker; things are more complicated than that. And nothing is scarier than the people who try to find easy answers to complicated questions. ~ Marjane Satrapi
Joker quotes by Marjane Satrapi
The Dark Knight 2008, favourite character Joker always in the right face and showing all humans in one character. A character died from characters! ~ Deyth Banger
Joker quotes by Deyth Banger
