one of the funniest books i've ever read, The Martian by Andy Weir. Here are a few of the main character's words of (questionable) wisdom:
'Maybe I’ll post a consumer review. “Brought product to surface of Mars. It stopped working. 0/10." '
“I started the day with some nothin’ tea. Nothin’ tea is easy to make. First, get some hot water, then add nothin’.”
“It’s true, you know. In space, no one can hear you scream like a little girl.”
“Me: “This is obviously a clog. How about I take it apart and check the internal tubing?” NASA: (after five hours of deliberation) “No. You’ll f*** it up and die.” So I took it apart.”
“I need to ask myself, 'What would an Apollo astronaut do?' He'd drink three whiskey sours, drive his Corvette to the launchpad, then fly to the moon in a command module smaller than my Rover. Man those guys were cool.”
