Michael Schur Thinking Quotations

You should be nice to people because it's better to be nice to people than mean to people, not because you think there's something in it for you.

I think that that the main problem with a lot of social media stuff in terms of ratings is it's a very skewed motivation.

I think if you're too concerned with being cool or hip or liked, you can't really make good TV because sincerity and coolness are opposites.

You can't just sit around in leopard-print slippers and drink champagne all day and think everything's gonna work out somehow.

People think of taxes as money just being robbed from you. They don't consider the benefits of paying taxes. The benefits that they get and also the benefit of just being a part of a large group of people: a town, or a city, or a country, or a society that allegedly should stand together and all try to help each other.

Society is completely unreasonable. People want everything and want to pay for nothing. They panic if they think about their taxes being raised, but if their garbage collection is a day late they scream and yell.
