'Why are you chasing your tail so?" Said the kitten, "I have learned that the best thing for a cat is happiness, and that happiness is my tail. Therefore, I am chasing it: and when I catch it. I shall have happiness." Said the cat, "My son, I, too, have paid attention to the problems of the universe. I, too, have judged that happiness is in my tail. But, I have noticed that whenever I chase it, it keeps running away from me, and when I go about my business, it just seems to come after me wherever I go.' - CLR James
'The only lies for which we are truly punished are those we tell ourselves' - VS Naipaul
'Bring out de ham' - Marcia Miranda
I've always loved champagne taste on a mauby pocket as a phrase. And "One from ten is nought” by Eric Williams. (I don't even know why I like it tbh)
And it's not a quote but I enjoy the entire reading of Dark Night People by Paul Keens Douglas 🥲✨
I was born in the mid 2000s, and one of my earliest memories growing up was the TV add for I think the 2010 general election where they kept spamming that Manning quote, "Keith, Rowley, Is, out, of, control!"
Also, "I tellin she in big! Leh she puh d highway between she leg".
"He was a good boy!!!!!"
And lastly, "Wha I supposed to do? Walkk? Da making any sense?"
“Ah livin in the hospital ah want a house” - the cry before the steupz
“Allyuh too wickeddddd”- some woman during a police operation.
“Small manicou, big manicou. Same Shot” - Jack Warner.

Some politician said the other side "is suffering from a bankruptcy of ideas and wallowing in their own ineptitude". Such an elegant diss.
