When Satan makes impure verses, Allah sends a divine tune to cleanse them.
George Bernard Shaw
My mom took me to see Carnal Knowledge and The Wild Bunch and all these kind of movies when I was a kid.
Quentin Tarantino
We know now that the soul is the body, and the body the soul. They tell us they are different because they want to persuade us that we can keep our souls if we let them make slaves of our bodies.
In passing, we should note this curious mark of our own age: the only absolute allowed is the absolute insistence that there is no absolute.
Francis Schaeffer
The advertisers who believe in the selling power of jingles have never had to sell anything.
David Ogilvy
I don't want to talk grammar. I want to talk like a lady.
When it comes to Chinese food I have always operated under the policy that the less known about the preparation the better. A wise diner who is invited to visit the kitchen replies by saying, as politely as possible, that he has a pressing engagement elsewhere.
Calvin Trillin
Success covers a multitude of blunders.
I think everyone shares a fear of failure - that you're only as good as your most recent collection. That's definitely a fear, but it's a fear that fuels me, that makes me want to work harder, that makes me take on more challenges.
Alexander Wang
Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sean Parker
Why, except as a means of livelihood, a man should desire to act on the stage when he has the whole world to act in, is not clear to me.
I found music to be the therapy of choice.
David Byrne
Beauty is all very well at first sight; but whoever looks at it when it has been in the house three days?
In your Salvation shelter I saw poverty, misery, cold and hunger. You gave them bread and treacle and dreams of heaven. I give from thirty shillings a week to twelve thousand a year. They find their own dreams; but I look after the drainage.
Like almost everyone who uses e-mail, I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It would be funny if it weren't so exciting.
Bill Gates
Don't order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple. Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don't know; and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.
You want to do something that shows some type individuality and talent and imagination - at the same time, you want to be truthful to the predecessors, because obviously the audience liked something about them and you have to replicate that experience to a certain extent.
Renny Harlin
You are all fundamentalists with a top dressing of science. That is why you are the stupidest of conservatives and reactionists in politics and the most bigoted of obstructionists in science itself. When it comes to getting a move on you are all of the same opinion: stop it, flog it, hang it, dynamite it, stamp it out.
How can you dare teach a man to read until you've taught him everything else first?
I used to be hung up on my figure, but it's a waste of time. I don't believe in diets. Have four pints one night, be healthy the next.
Sophie Ellis Bextor
Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books nobody reads.
But, if you observe children learning in their first few years of life, you can see that they can and do learn on their own - we leave them alone to crawl, walk, talk, and gain control over their bodies. It happens without much help from parents.
Daniel Greenberg
Japanese food makes me feel particularly good.
David Mitchell
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
You know, I think that President Obama is a person who has a great relationship with a number of people. Colin Powell does, too. I think Colin Powell is a fine American, a great leader and sees things in President Obama that he agrees with. He's entitled to have his opinion.
Pete Sessions
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Thomas Jefferson
Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company.
George Washington
I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There's no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.
Eminem
These days I travel so much it's hard to get into a routine. When I'm on the road, I tend to use hotel gyms. When I'm home in L.A., I like to hike and hit the surf. All in all, I try to keep a balanced diet and exercise routine, which has stood me in good stead to date.
Curtis Stone
He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches.
I was a freethinker before I knew how to think.
I love home cooking, and I'm not a great one for fast food.

If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist.
Stephen Hawking
It is difficult, if not impossible, for most people to think otherwise than in the fashion of their own period.
The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.
George S. Patton
No king on earth is as safe in his job as a Trade Union official. There is only one thing that can get him sacked; and that is drink. Not even that, as long as he doesn't actually fall down.
It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs.
Thomas Hardy
I must confess that my imagination refuses to see any sort of submarine doing anything but suffocating its crew and floundering at sea.
H. G. Wells
