I hate birthdays. I hate birthday parties. I hate them. I don't know what it is, anybody's only got to come wafting near me with a piece of cake with a candle on and I break out in hives.

Behind it all is surely an idea so simple, so beautiful so compelling that when-in a decade, a century, a millennium-- we grasp it, we will say to each other, how could it have been otherwise? How can we have been so blind for so long?

John Wheeler

Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first, the right to life; secondly, to liberty; thirdly, to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can. Those are evident branches of, rather than deductions from, the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature.

Samuel Adams

I believe in only one thing: liberty; but I do not believe in liberty enough to want to force it upon anyone.

H. L. Mencken

You won't find me in a romantic comedy. Those movies don't speak to me. People don't come to talk to me about those scripts, because they probably think I'm this dark, twisted, miserable person.

Naomi Watts

Went to a bar for a few drinks. The bartender asked what I wanted, surprise me I said, so he showed me a naked picture of my wife.

Rodney Dangerfield

Every knee will bend before me, and every tongue shall give glory to God.

Jesus Christ

What is easy is seldom excellent.

Samuel Johnson

I've often thought if I didn't make my marriage work, I would have failed at my one true shot at happiness.

Bethenny Frankel

Love expands.

Hugh Prather

Success is following the pattern of life one enjoys most.

Al Capp

I'm just as insufferable and useless as every other dad is. The dynamic never changes, no matter what you do for a living.

Glenn Frey

It was a miserable machine, an inefficient machine, she thought, the human apparatus for painting or for feeling; it always broke down at the critical moment; heroically, one must force it on.

Virginia Woolf
