[jaspdx]

"they're not learning for our world. they're learning for theirs." - Colvin teaching the school district why it is failing.

[aarone]

The Wire is PERFECT. Everything about it is 100% perfect from the writing, acting, characters, plots, and more. Best show ever and maybe just maybe the best work of art every put together. And this is how I've felt for the last 13 years. Nothing will change that and my thoughts are without a drop of hyperbole or rhetoric.

[tsarfox]

As someone who struggles with addiction I can confirm: "Getting clean is the easy part. Now comes life." That second part, that's what makes me go back to being dirty.

[livinthefilm]

"Money ain't got no owners. Only spenders."
-Omar Little

[thewizard]

"Boy, you got me confused with someone who repeats himself" and the "away games".. both classics

[slumshoes]

"The game is rigged. But you never lose if you don't play." - I've been saying this to myself every since watchin' the Wire.

[ryancoulter]

“Ain’t no shame holding onto grief…”
Can’t hear those lines without getting weepy.
RIP Allison. RIP Mom.

[ridwantukale]

"You know the difference between me and you, I bleed red you bleed green, you know what I see when I look at you these days, a man without a country, not hard enough for what is here and maybe just maybe not smart enough for them out there." ~~ Avon Barksdale
