You can't even trade a single fart with the next guy. Each and every one of us has to live out his own life. Don't waste time thinking about who's most talented.

Love is a special word, and I use it only when I mean it. You say the word too much and it becomes cheap.

Ray Charles

No one can disgrace us but ourselves.

Henry Wheeler Shaw

A big part of being in a wedding is the financial obligation, and that's something that people don't really talk about, but if you're asked to be in a wedding, you're gonna have to fork over some cash.

Kristen Wiig

Do not ask what the Government can do for you. Ask why it doesn't.

Gerhard Kocher

Tie your self worth to something that you will lose, and you'll be left with nothing.

Be wary of strong drink, it can make you shoot at the tax collector...and miss.

Robert A. Heinlein

This AIDS stuff is pretty scary. I hope I don't get it.

Robert Mapplethorpe

I love my early movies, but naturalism is an artist's early style. Now I want to deal with feelings, dreams, an acceptance of irrationality.

Irvin Kershner

Persephone is just a name for a spirit of beauty at a certain time in history. I'm sure we could argue a biblical place for her if it matters. Your wife has the name of that pagan goddess, but the fact remains that she's your mortal bride in the Year of Our Lord 1888- and she's Catholic, so pray for her, damn it, I don't care how confusing it is. And pray for us, to anyone. If the dead are about to flood Athens, divine goodwill couldn't hurt. Your prayers can be in Hindu, if you like. Now go home.

Leanna Renee Hieber

It is never too late to give up your prejudices

Henry David Thoreau

What this country needs is a good five cent cigar.
