| “HURRY UP WITH MY DAMN CROISSANTS” – King Joffrey Baratheon |
Twice last week people the world over stopped what they were doing to quote Kanye West via Twitter. First from his interview with The New York Times; “I am the nucleus,” “I just want dopeness,” “It's only led me to complete awesomeness at all times” being the particular favorites. Then, after Yeezus leaked Friday, his lyrics: “I be speaking Swag-hili,” “Have you ever asked your bitch for other bitches,” and, of course, “Hurry up with my damn croissants!'
All of it got us thinking about other megalomaniacs/Big Achievers, and how their declarations of grandeur hold up next to Kanye's. Quite well, it turns out. So play our fun game below. Who said it: Kanye, Donald Trump, Steve Jobs, Joffrey Baratheon from Game of Thrones,?
1. “You know, it really doesn`t matter what (the media) write as long as you`ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.”
 |
2. “Everyone is mine to torment!”
|
3. “Anytime I've had a big thing that's ever pierced and cut across the Internet, it was a fight for justice. Justice. And when you say justice, it doesn't have to be war. Justice could just be clearing a path for people to dream properly.”
|
4. “I knew I was going to make it this far; I knew that this was going to happen.”
|
5. “My job is not to be easy on people. My job is to make them better.”
|
6. “I'm Steve Jobs.”
|
7. “You can't talk to me like that. The king can do as he likes!”
|
8) “It's only led me to complete awesomeness at all times. It's only led me to awesome truth and awesomeness. Beauty, truth, awesomeness. That's all it is.”
|
9. “Love him or hate him, Donald Trump is a man who is certain about what he wants and sets out to get it, no holds barred. Women find his power almost as much of a turn-on as his money.”
|
10) “My message isn't perfectly defined. I have, as a human being, fallen to peer pressure.”
|
11. “I like thinking big. If you're going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big.”
|
12. “It's more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy.”
|
13. “I would trade all my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.”
|
14. “I am so credible and so influential and so relevant that I will change things.”
|
15. “I've read hundreds of books about China over the decades. I know the Chinese. I've made a lot of money with the Chinese. I understand the Chinese mind.”
|
16. “I am a god.”
|
