- The amount of comfort. All love and friendship is based in the end on that. When the quantum of solace stands at zero, you've got to get away to save yourself. From Ian Fleming's short story of the same name in the Bond collection For Your Eyes Only.
The Governor paused and looked reflectively over at Bond. He said: "You're not married, but I think it's the same with all relationships between a man and a woman. They can survive anything so long as some kind of basic humanity exists between the two people. When all kindness has gone, when one person obviously and sincerely doesn't care if the other is alive or dead, then it's just no good. That particular insult to the ego - worse, to the instinct of self-preservation - can never be forgiven. I've noticed this in hundreds of marriages. I've seen flagrant infidelitiespatched up, I've seen crimes and even murder forgiven by the other party, let alone bankruptcy and every other form of social crime. Incurable disease, blindness, disaster - all these can be overcome. But never the death of common humanity in one of the partners. I've thought about this and I've invented a rather high-sounding title for this basic factor in human relations. I have called it the Law of the Quantum of Solace."

Get the Solal mug.One year there and all I learned was that the school is fulllll of Hicks and rednecks that stand in circles of camo back packs, outfits / boot cut jeans and brown boots. Or you get the occasional basic hoes that wear pink on the daily or just think they’re all that when they’re just complete trash and people are really dumb asf with grade level things or even common sense things. The whole school and staff listens/plays country music and the 20% listens to trash rap. The older staff seem to have somthing up they’re ass most of the time and won’t allow the dumbest things. Can’t bring your backpack to the bathroom and on top of that u have to SIGN IN AND OUT TO USE THE RESTROOM AND THERES ONLY ONE. And worst of all the school is the complete opposite of diverse and the kids need to learn how to grow up...
