It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.

I think peace should be done not only among governments but among people. It was impossible before the Facebook.

Shimon Peres

Humorists can never start to take themselves seriously. It's literary suicide.

Erma Bombeck

I was in love with my wife and she was in love with me. We got along wonderfully.

Sam Sheppard

In politics, the people I most despise are those who have no values.

Diane Abbott

I suppose your security is your success and your key to success is your fine palate.

Gordon Ramsay

In life there is reality and there is what you want in life. If you took a moment to step back and forget about everything that is going on that doesn't really mean that much anyway, you might be able to figure out how to get what you want and what has been stopping you. For every problem there is a solution, for every... need God has provided the answer, and for every want there is a way. Reality is what you make it.

Joshua Hartzell

Scatter joy!

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I want to be remembered as somebody that tried to respect her integrity as an artist and as a person. And I don't want to be in any box. I don't want to be one thing.

Penelope Cruz

Monarchies, aristocracies, and religions are all based upon that large defect in your race -- the individual's distrust of his neighbor, and his desire, for safety's or comfort's sake, to stand well in his neighbor's eye. These institutions will always remain, and always flourish, and always oppress you, affront you, and degrade you, because you will always be and remain slaves of minorities. There was never a country where the majority of the people were in their secret hearts loyal to any of these institutions.

Mark Twain

I noticed a lot of guitar players neglected the rhythm part of rhythm guitar and decided I would try to focus in that. As my skill and knowledge of the instrument grew, I found lead started to come naturally. Sometimes I play guitar like a frustrated drummer. Ha ha!

Hal Sparks

I thought Erica Jong's Fear of Flying was one of the biggest pieces of crap that I've ever read in my life.

Helen Reddy

If life was a dream, then dying must be the moment when you woke up. It was so simple it must be true. You died, the dream was over, you woke up. That's what people meant when they talked about going to heaven. It was like waking up.

Ian Mcewan
