The Big Bang Theory 1.12 - “The Jerusalem Duality”
There is neither happiness nor unhappiness in this world; there is only the comparison of one state with another. Only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss. It is necessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live…the sum of all human wisdom will be contained in these two words: Wait and Hope.

When I go to the gas station, the amount of gallons and the price have to end on something that is numerically interesting. Like if the gallons is 131, something symmetrical like a 262 is awesome. Or 555, because then I’ll be like 131 is five total. So it’s five on top, and then three fives on the bottom. That’s okay. But if it’s 484 and then 612, I’m like, ‘I need more gas.’ That’s weird, but it’s true. I do it, and I don’t even realize I’m doing it. I’ll be like, why am I still trying to get a little drop of gas? Then I’ll get it, and I’ll be like Yes! Then someone will look over and be like, ‘You are freakin’ insane.’ And I’ll be like, ‘Yeah, but I got a full tank of gas, and mentally I’m fine for like the next 15 minutes until I need lip balm.’
