It is misery, you know, unspeakable misery for the man who lives alone and who detests sordid, casual affairs; not old enough to do without women, but not young enough to be able to go and look for one without shame!

It's been a fascinating thing because we didn't really know how to write when we started South Park at all. It's been like, we've just sort of grown up a bit and it's amazing to just see how, if you take Butters and Cartman and put them in any scene, it works.

Trey Parker

In real life I've learned to love not wearing any makeup whatsoever, and I'm super low-maintenance when it comes to my hair.

Leighton Meester

Black literature is taught as sociology, as tolerance, not as a serious, rigorous art form.

Toni Morrison

If we Americans are to survive it will have to be because we choose and elect and defend to be first of all Americans; to present to the world one homogeneous and unbroken front, whether of white Americans or black ones or purple or blue or green. If we in America have reached that point in our desperate culture when we must murder children, no matter for what reason or what color, we don't deserve to survive, and probably won t.

William Faulkner

I hate intellectuals. They are from the top down. I am from the bottom up.

Frank Lloyd Wright

Every night I go over what I did in the day, in ethical or moral terms. Have I treated people properly? Did I tell the truth?

Jeanne Moreau

Why not seize the pleasure at once, how often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparations.

Jane Austen

Speech is human, silence is divine, yet also brutish and dead therefore we must learn both arts.

Thomas Carlyle

We are not interested in those stupid crimes you have committed. The Party is not interested in the overt act: the thought is all we care about.

George Orwell

People say that it's the big decisions that are important... that these are the type of issues worthy of prolonged consideration. But no one ever explains how it's the little choices that send your life careening in another direction.

Julie Gittus

An author must be nothing if he do not love truth; a barrister must be nothing if he do.

Anthony Trollope

The Internet's been so great, and it's so nice to have fans do nice, elaborate websites, but I think the downside is some of the things... for real fans to go on and see that 90 percent of the information isn't true or to see pictures that aren't really me, or for them to be able to sell these things, that's one of the downsides, I think.
