I was at this casino minding my own business, and this guy came up to me and said, 'You're gonna have to move, you're blocking a fire exit.' As though if there was a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you're flammible and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit.

One by one the sands are flowing, One by one the moments fall;Some are coming, some are going;Do not strive to grasp them all.

Adelaide Proctor

When I do count the clock that tells the time,And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;When I behold the violet past prime,And sable curls all silver'd o'er with white;When lofty trees I see barren of leavesWhich erst from heat did canopy the herd,And summer's green all girded up in sheavesBorne on the bier with white and bristly beard,Then of thy beauty do I question make,That thou among the wastes of time must go,Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsakeAnd die as fast as they see others grow;And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defenceSave breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.

William Shakespeare

You don't seem to realize, that in married life three is company and two is none.JACKThat, my dear young friend, is the theory that the corrupt French Drama has been propounding for the last fifty years.ALGERNONYes; and that the happy English home has proved in half the time.

Oscar Wilde

I never could tell a lie that anybody would doubt, nor a truth that anybody would believe.

Mark Twain

Confidence is like a dragon where, for every head cut off, two more heads grow back.

Criss Jami

When you see violence in movies in general, it's very quick and painless, which isn't what it's like.

Vincent Cassel

It is with words as with sunbeams -- the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn.

Robert Southey

Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.

Thomas Henry Huxley

On the morning in question, she wore white shorts and a pink T-shirt that featured a green dragon breathing a fire of orange glitter. It is difficult to explain how awesome I found this T-shirt at the time.

John Green

Ethnic prejudice has no place in sports, and baseball must recognize that truth if it is to maintain stature as a national game.

Branch Rickey

Modern men are afraid of the past. It is a record of human achievement, but its other face is human defeat.

Walter Lippmann, 1914
