Most people wouldn't know music if it came up and bit them on the a-s.

People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically... No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.

Rosa Parks

The public wishes itself to be managed like a woman; one must say nothing to it except what it likes to hear

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Style is a simple way of saying complicated things.

Jean Cocteau

Murder is a horror, but an often necessary horror, never criminal, which it is essential to tolerate in a republican State. Is it or is it not a crime? If it is not, why make laws for its punishment? And if it is, by what barbarous logic do you, to punish it, duplicate it by another crime?

Marquis de Sade

Glorious are the woods in their latest gold and crimson,Yet our full-leaved willows are in the freshest green.Such a kindly autumn, so mercifully dealingWith the growths of summer, I never yet have seen.

William Cullen Bryant

The healthy stomach is nothing if it is not conservative. Few radicals have good digestions.

Samuel Butler

O loss of sight, of thee I most complain! Blind among enemies, O worse than chains, dungeon or beggary, or decrepit age! Light, the prime work of God, to me is extinct, and all her various objects of delight annulled, which might in part my grief have eased. Inferior to the vilest now become of man or worm; the vilest here excel me, they creep, yet see; I, dark in light, exposed to daily fraud, contempt, abuse and wrong, within doors, or without, still as a fool, in power of others, never in my own; scarce half I seem to live, dead more than half.

John Milton

My whole goal was to be able to work in television and film and maintain a normal life, never be in a tabloid.

Pauley Perrette

The strangeness will wear off and I think we will discover the deeper meanings in modern art.

Jackson Pollock

No age seemed the age of romance to itself.

Thomas Carlyle

Satire is often the reflection of a kind of moral nausea.

Crand Briton

I think we'll be in pretty good shape. We've got the same car we ran in all the speedway races since 2001, and it's been a real good car for us. It's led every race we've been in.

Sterling Marlin
