My Favorite Quotes Sir Winston Churchill - “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.” Albert Einstein - “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.” Aldous Huxley - “Maybe this world is another planet's Hell.” H. H. (Saki) Munro - “He is one of those people who would be enormously improved by death.” Mel Brooks - “Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - “The artist alone sees spirits. But after he has told of their appearing to him, everybody sees them.” Mark Twain - “Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.” Mark Twain - “When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear.” Jack Kerouac - “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everyone goes 'Awww!'” Dante Alighieri - “Avarice, envy, pride. Three fatal sparks, have set the hearts of all on Fire.” Groucho Marx - “I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.” Napoleon Bonaparte - “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” J. D. Salinger - “Boy, when you are dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a god damn cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you are dead? Nobody.” Jacques Rigaut - “God is becoming bitter, he envies man his mortality.” Charles Sanders Peirce - “If man were immortal he could be perfectly sure of seeing the day when everything in which he had trusted should betray his trust, and, in short, of coming eventually to hopeless misery. He would break down, at last, as every good fortune, as every dynasty, as every civilization does. In place of this we have death.” Denis Leary - “Most people think life sucks, and then you die. Not me. I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get remarried, you owe ten million dollars in medical bills but you work hard for thirty five years and you pay it back and then one day you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool but you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to walk and the power to talk and then one day you step off a curb at Sixty-seventh Street, and BANG you get hit by a city bus and then you die. Maybe.” George Bernard Shaw - “Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else.” M. C. Escher - “I don't use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough.” Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy - "The dew has fallen with a particularly sickening thud this morning." Gautama Buddha - “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.” Lillian Smith - “To be seventy years old is like climbing the Alps. You reach a snow-crowned summit, and see behind you the deep valley stretching miles and miles away, and before you other summits higher and whiter, which you may have strength to climb, or may not. Then you sit down and meditate and wonder which it will be.” Hope you enjoyed the quotes. There were quite a few. Also, i have a new favorite on my authors list. Check out Infinite Smiles. - Sandra |
