1. "Sometimes I'll start a sentence and I don't even know where it's going. I just hope I find it along the way."
According to Michael Scott, an "improversation" is an improvised conversation. Michael uses this skill many times throughout the show, as viewers can all tell by his awkward mannerisms and responses.
2. "Me think, why waste time say lot word, when few word do trick."
We all know Kevin for his simplistic, snack-loving mind and hilarious one-liners. Sometimes using complex sentences can overcomplicate things, so Kevin decided to create his own "small talk". It's inclusive for everyone, at least to Kevin.
3. "An office is for not dying. An office is a place to live life to the fullest, to the max, to… An office is a place where dreams come true."
Said absolutely no one ever, but props to Michael for always staying optimistic. For some, working the typical 9 to 5 office job is the dream, and for others, it would be torture. Life throws the most random obstacles at us, so we might as well make the most out of it.

4. "Do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I like to be liked. I enjoy being liked. I have to be liked, but it’s not like this compulsive need to be liked, like my need to be praised."
Michael's narcissistic personality is extremely apparent, even in the very first episode of 'The Office'. Throughout the show, his need for acceptance contributes to his rises and downfalls. If only everyone's boss cared more about their employees' feelings, the workspace would be a lot more fun.
5. "I talk a lot, I've learned to just tune myself out."
Kelly Kapoor is never hesitant to say exactly what's on her mind. Her dramatic reactions and toxic relationship with her off-and-on-again boyfriend, Ryan Howard, keep fans on their toes. The rest of Dunder Mifflin has to tune Kelly out at times, so it's no surprise that she does the same.
6. “Life is short. Drive fast and leave a sexy corpse. That’s one of my mottos.”
We shouldn't take this motto literally, life is too short to be stuck in the past. We have to continue living it to our fullest, and leave a sexy corpse, of course. None of us expect much from Kevin, but when he does speak, it's usually sound advice.
7. “Look, I know the reason that you guys became accountants is ’cause you’re not good at interacting with people. But guess what? From now on, you guys are no longer losers. So gives yourselves a round of applause.”
Not many people can get away with giving backhanded compliments, but Kelly does it again and again. It seems like she truly believes everything that she says, so I guess being genuine trumps being mean... or not. Either way, Kelly's hilarious and says what we're all thinking.
8. “I have been trying to get on jury duty every year since I was 18 years old. To get to go sit it in an air-conditioned room, downtown, judging people, while my lunch is paid for… that is the life.”
Stanley Hudson rarely says much, but most of us can relate to everything he says. Sometimes life is much better when we get the simple things, and those simple things might be a free lunch and the freedom to formally be judgmental.
9. “When you’re a kid, you assume your parents are soulmates. My kids are going to be right about that.”
Jim and Pam. Pam and Jim. Some call them 'Jam' or 'Pim'. Regardless of their relationship-name, they make us believe in true love. In a time where the chances of divorce are 50/50, we all need to find our Jim to our Pam, and we will.

Sometimes a little fear can incite a more toxic relationship, but a little chaos can be fun at times. Though, Michael has a different idea of what it means to incite fear in your loved ones.
