I have found it; I have discovered the cause of all the misfortunes which befell him. A public school, Joseph, was the cause of all the calamities which he afterwards suffered. Public schools are the nurseries of all vice and immorality.

Waving the flag at the 1976 Olympics wasn't my idea. It was too much apple pie and ice cream. Not that I don't love my country, but I felt it was my victory up there, I put all the time into it.

Bruce Jenner

All my good reading, you might say, was done in the toilet. There are passages in Ulysses which can be read only in the toilet -- if one wants to extract the full flavor of their content.

Henry Miller

E. M. Forster

If God gave the soul his whole creation she would not be filled thereby but only with himself.

Meister Eckhart

It is all right to rat, but you can't re-rat.

Sir Winston Churchill
