Laughter is involuntary. If it's funny you laugh.

An Irishman needs three things : silence, cunnning, and exile.

James Joyce

The way that I live my life is on spontaneity.

Melanie Brown

I have always paid income tax. I object only when it reaches a stage when I am threatened with having nothing left for my old age -- which is due to start next Tuesday or Wednesday.

Noel Coward

Faith is an aptitude of the spirit. It is, in fact, a talent: you must be born with it.

Anton Chekhov

My wife has to be the worst cook. In my house, we pray after we eat.

Rodney Dangerfield

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed. Out of the hard and unusual struggle through which he is compelled to pass, he gets a strength, a confidence, that one misses whose pathway is comparatively smooth by reason of birth and race.

Booker T. Washington

It is by far the most elegant worship, hardly excepting the Greek mythology. What with incense, pictures, statues, altars, shrines, relics, and the real presence, confession, absolution, -- there is something sensible to grasp at. Besides, it leaves no possibility of doubt; for those who swallow their Deity, really and truly, in transubstantiation, can hardly find any thing else otherwise than easy of digestion.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

Errors are not in the art but in the artificers.

Isaac Newton

Fact and fiction are different truths.

Patricia MacLachlan

I am not afraid to say my relationship with my man is important, even vital, to who I am as a person.

Mika Brzezinski

The product of the artist has become less important than the fact of the artist. We wish to absorb this person. We wish to devour someone who has experienced the tragic. In our society this person is much more important than anything he might create.

David Mamet

My children are the reason I laugh, smile and want to get up every morning.

Gena Lee Nolin
