Some people would rather be wrong than quiet for a minute.

You can muck around with different guitars for certain bits, but you have to have your own sound. That's your benchmark, that's your sound. I also play a Black Beauty. It sounds amazing.

Dan Hawkins

Black beauty - he's a dark horse.

Tim Vine

Although charismatic, James Dean is no Harrison Ford. In the majority of his movies, sooner or later he got the crap beaten out of him.

Dean Koontz

If you imagine someone with 100 percent determination and 100 percent intelligence, you can discard a lot of intelligence before they stop succeeding. But if you start discarding determination, you very quickly get an ineffectual and perpetual grad student.

Paul Graham

I would cap the amount of federal government can spend at 20 percent of the economy. Bring it back to 20 percent or lower. And say, we are not going to spend above that level. Democrats, they want to raise your taxes and spend more and more and turn us into an economy which is no longer driven by the private sector.

Mitt Romney

I think real life reflects your movies. In your life, you pick stuff that influences what movie roles you wanna pick. I think if you've got an interesting life, you wanna do interesting movies about interesting things.

Chris Tucker

Nothing strengthens the judgement and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

The idea that truth always triumphs over persecution is one of those pleasant falsehoods, which most experience refutes. History is teeming with instances of truth put down by persecution. If not put down forever, it may be set back for centuries.

John Stuart Mill

A couple of months ago, I was down in Florida for the Food and Wine Festival. And this journalist grabbed me and said, 'How does it feel to be a TV guy? You're no longer in the restaurant business.' And I laughed. I asked him, 'How long do you think it takes me to do a season?' He said, 'Well, 200 days.' And I was like, '200 days? Try 20!'

Tom Colicchio

Did you know the pen is stronger than the knife: they can kill you once but they can't kill you twice.

Damian Marley

Shall I refuse my dinner because I do not fully understand the process of digestion?

Oliver Heaviside

Human love is not love. Love is natural to every body but it becomes human love as the person learns from society to confuse love with sex.
