Live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds.

An Englishman is a person who does things because they have been done before. An American is a person who does things because they haven't been done before.

Mark Twain

You have to have fear to take risks - and I want to at least try.

Seann William Scott

Margaret Thatcher

It's silly to go on pretending that under the skin we are all brothers. The truth is more likely that under the skin we are all cannibals, assassins, traitors, liars, hypocrites, poltroons.

And I thought it was a myth, but then I met Yoko and that was it.
