Apropos absolutely nothing, Gawker is happy to present the Quotable Matt Drudge, sure to find its way into Bartlett's before long. Enjoy.

• "I don't necessarily think anything on a Web site can have a result."

• "I was a stutterer. I had a twitch inside all the time a lot of raw energy. I was lonely I still am."

• " There s no law against being a hypocrite a few times in your life. And this industry (the media) is built on hypocrisy!"

• "The road is littered with Wonkettes who have come and gone."

• "To my only true friend Ms. Thing, Vicky B, I leave a night in Paris, a bottle of Chaps cologne..."

• "I don t want the humiliation of having my words coming back to haunt me."

• "I wish Jimmy Carter were still president."

• "This isn't a dinner party, darling. This is the beast! This is the Internet beast, which is all-consuming, as anyone knows who works in this business."

• "How can I be gay when I m dating a woman with boobs and rollers?"

And last, but certainly not least:

• "Babe, your spirit is everywhere. I had a picnic the other day at the Appletree Campground which sits right on top of the great San Andreas fault line. I was starring the 600-mile trouble maker right in the gut wondering when and if the ground would burst. I saw your face in a wild-desert flower that was growing out of the crack in a fault-line. Your face reminded me that there is more to life than worrying about death." — Addressing Babe the Pig
