->''When he's gone, Claire opines that people will ask questions about the crash, but Bennet informs her she's mistaken, and no one's going to know a thing. An ominous whistling accompanies this declaration, and when Claire, dread in her voice, asks what he did, he answers by looking to the sky, from which a missile appears and blows up the plane. I hate to argue with such a dramatic display, but if someone were going to ask questions about a mysterious plane's mysterious landing, I'm not sure an ensuing mysterious explosion would get them to go about their day like nothing happened. But I could be overestimating people's average intelligence and curiosity.''
-->-- '''TelevisionWithoutPity''' on ''Series/{{Heroes}}''



->''"Bless [[{{Muggles}} them]], they'll go to any lengths to ignore magic, even if it's staring them in the face..."''
-->-- '''Arthur Weasley''', ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets''

->''"We're ostriches, and the whole world is sand. Newbies who are just learning about the world of wizards and the unpleasant side of the supernatural always think there's this huge conspiracy to hide it from everyone. There isn't. There's no need for one, beyond preventing actual parades down Main Street. Hell's bells, from where I'm standing, it's a miracle anyone ''ever'' notices."''

'''Dennis Franz:''' You think I give a damn if some Chinese kids hopped up on angel dust start dropping fireworks off their kites?!\\

'''Dennis Franz:''' I'm Homicide, kid. Let that pack of drunk fighter pilots under a parade float have their fun.\\
'''Man:''' How is that less crazy than "dragon"?\\
'''Dennis Franz:''' I hope your dickhole likes fists, funny man!

-> ''It was true that normal people couldn't hear Gaspode speak, because dogs ''don't'' speak. It's a well known fact. It's well known at the organic level, like a lot of other well-known facts which overrule the observation of the senses. This is because if people went around noticing everything that was going on all the time, no one would ever get anything done. Besides, almost all dogs don't talk. Ones that do are merely a statistical error, and can therefore be ignored.''
