All generous minds have a horror of what are commonly called facts. They are the brute beasts of the intellectual domain. Who does not know fellows that always have an ill-conditioned fact or two that they lead after them into decent company like so many bull-dogs, ready to let them slip at every ingenious suggestion, or convenient generalization, or pleasant fancy? I allow no facts at this table.

There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his.

Helen Keller

I had only one superstition. I made sure to touch all the bases when I hit a home run.

Babe Ruth

People forget how outcast 'They Might Be Giants' can be. They have a reputation for writing really deft, funny, clever melodies, and they also make a lot of music for kids, which is terrific, but when you see them in concert, they can rock the house.

John Hodgman

My dad always tell me to make decisions from love and not from fear.

Rashida Jones

It's very attractive to people to be a victim. Instead of having to think out the whole situation, about history and your group and what you are doing... if you begin from the point of view of being a victim, you've got it half-made. I mean intellectually.

V. S. Naipaul

People in the business will stay with you through drugs and alcohol and divorces and insanity and everything else, but you have a failure, pal, and they don't want to know nothing about you!

Don Johnson

Success always leaves footprints.

Booker T. Washington

For, to be a stranger is naturally a very positive relation it is a specific form of interaction.

Georg Simmel

To me, redneck is a sense of self and a way of life.

Gretchen Wilson

I love being a part of Aqua Teen.

Dana Snyder

At one time,' Golenishchev continued, either not observing or not willing to observe that both Anna and Vronsky wanted to speak, 'at one time a freethinker was a man who had been brought up in the conception of religion, law, and morality, who reached freethought only after conflict and difficulty. But now a new type of born freethinkers has appeared, who grow up without so much as hearing that there used to be laws of morality, or religion, that authorities existed. They grow up in ideas of negation in everything -- in other words, utter savages.

Leo Tolstoy

Definitely I love women, I love being around women, I find them incredible and intoxicating, and I've never had that feeling I get with women with a man.
