“You’ll realize that someone loved you. And that means that someone can love you again! And that’ll make you smile.”

From: The Simpsons

Genre: Cartoons, Television

Who said it?: Homer Simpson

The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes from the longest running animated series in the United States, The Simpsons. Making it’s first debut way back in 1989, The Simpsons has been, as of this writing, on broadcast television for 36 seasons.

The quote comes from the episode entitled “Eeny Teeny Maya Moe,” which is the 16th episode of the 20th season. In the episode, we see Moe Szyslak, the owner of Moe’s Tavern, meet a woman named Maya online. When they meet face-to-face, it turns out the woman is a little person. The two eventually hit it off but Moe is unable to stop making jokes about Maya’s height. The two eventually break up because of Moe’s general insecurity.

The quote comes from the end of the episode. Homer Simpson stops by Moe’s Tavern. Moe is still depressed regarding Maya. This is when Homer tells this is a good thing as at least he starting to get back out there again. He closes out this pep talk by delivering the quote.

Geek wisdom: It is better to have love and lost than to never love at all. While that saying doesn’t mean that much to the brokenhearted, Homer’s words do ring more true. Just because you have lost your love, that doesn’t mean you’ll never find love ever again. If you’ve found it once, there’s a good chance you can find it again.

“All work and moe play makes moe a moe moe.”

The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes from one of the episodes of The Simpsons. As one of the longest running shows ever (and since I’ve already used a lot of Simpsons quotes in the past), this show needs no introduction anymore.

The quote comes from the episode entitled “Flaming Moe,” which is the 10th episode of the 3rd season. In the episode, Moe’s bar is going out of business and, to help his friend out, Homer Simpson tells him how to make a drink by cobbling together old liquor but, by adding cough syrup and setting it on fire, the resulting drink will be spectacular. Moe then starts selling the drink and claiming he invented it, now calling it the Flaming Moe. Homer becomes obsessed that Moe won’t give him any credit, to the point where he sees and hears Moe wherever he is. This leads to Homer imagining Marge Simpson delivering the quote.

Geek wisdom: Getting obsessed with a certain topic is not healthy. You do have to get some things out of your system or else you will go crazy just like how Homer did.
