I love a smart, well-written show, and '30 Rock,' well, you can't get any better than that. Tina Fey poos funny. There's nothing that she does that isn't funny. That show is an example of how brilliant she is. It's so smart. They've done some brilliant commentary about the 'Housewives' with 'Queen of Jordan,' their show-within-the-show.

The whole idea of revenge and punishment is a childish day-dream. Properly speaking, there is no such thing as revenge. Revenge is an act which you want to commit when you are powerless and because you are powerless: as soon as the sense of impotence is removed, the desire evaporates also.

George Orwell

When a lot of remedies are suggested for a disease, that means it can't be cured.

Anton Chekhov

I am struck by the way people behave on the Tube. They look at each other beadily and inquisitively, and something goes on in their thoughts which must be equivalent to the way dogs and other animals, when they meet, sniff each other's arses and nuzzle each other's fur.

Graham Swift

Health food may be good for the conscience but Oreos taste a hell of a lot better.

Robert Redford

Any attempts at humor immediately after September 11th were deemed tasteless.

Allen Klein

Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.

Anthony Powell

Go practice if you please with men and women: leave a child alone for Christ's particular love's sake!

Robert Browning

All free governments are managed by the combined wisdom and folly of the people.

James A. Garfield

May our children and our children's children to a thousand generations, continue to enjoy the benefits conferred upon us by a united country, and have cause yet to rejoice under those glorious institutions bequeathed us by Washington and his compeers.

Abraham Lincoln

The much vaunted male logic isn't logical, because they display prejudices -- against half the human race -- that are considered prejudices according to any dictionary definition.

Eva Figes

If my accent betrayed my foreign birth, it also stamped me as an enemy, in the imagination of the producers.

Bela Lugosi

Fear not the phantom of death, My Countrymen, for his greatnessAnd mercy will refuse to approachYour smallness; and dread not the Dagger, for it will decline to beLodged in your shallow hearts.

Kahlil Gibran
