If Copenhagen were a person, that person would be generous, beautiful, elderly, but with a flair. A human being that has certain propensities for quarrelling, filled with imagination and with appetite for the new and with respect for the old - somebody who takes good care of things and of people.

I think there have always been funny women, from Carol Burnett to Joan Rivers. When the audience sees a woman, they innately know she's worked twice as hard to get there, she's had to prove that she can be the leader, first, and then be funny on top of it. She has to emit a confidence that she's in control.

Wendy Liebman

For in music there is no material to be deducted.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

It's bad taste to be wise all the time, like being at a perpetual funeral

D.H. Lawrence

A display of indifference to all the actions and passions of mankind was not supposed to be such a distinguished quality at that time, I think, as I have observed it to be considered since. I have known it very fashionable indeed. I have seen it displayed with such success, that I have encountered some fine ladies and gentlemen who might as well have been born caterpillars.

Charles Dickens

I am sure that if you plant the trees back again, it will do nothing but good.

Michael Fish

Every day the fat woman dies a series of small deaths.

Shelley Bovey

Truth disappears with the telling of it.

Lawrence Durrell

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

Oscar Wilde

Love and what generates it. Rebellion and what creates it. Liberty and what nourishes it. Three manifestations of God. And God is the conscience of the rational world.

Khalil Gibran

I am an artist. The track is my canvas, and the car is my brush.

Graham Hill

The poem is sad because it wants to be yours, and cannot be.

John Ashbery

I prefer truth-based entertaining idealism.
