Tom's whole being applauded this idea. It was deep, and dark, and awful; the hour, the circumstances, the surroundings, were in keeping with it.

My dad used to love Steely Dan, the Stones, Jethro Tull and all that. There was always Steely Dan going in my dad's car, but I remember The Royal Scam in particular because it has 'Kid Charlemagne' on it.

St. Vincent

Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love.

Miguel Angel Ruiz

The absolute truth is the thing that makes people laugh

Carl Reiner

I have noticed that doctors who fail in the practice of medicine have a tendency to seek one another's company and aid in consultation.

Ernest Hemingway

Large department stores, with their luxuriant abundance of canned goods, foods, and clothing, are like the primary landscape and the geometrical locus of affluence. Streets with overcrowded and glittering store windows...the displays of delicacies, and all the scenes of alimentary and vestimentary festivity, stimulate a magical salivation. Accumulation is more than the sum of its products: the conspicuousness of surplus, the final and magical negation of scarcity...mimic a new-found nature of prodigious fecundity.

Jean Baudrillard

I didn't plan to be the rude middle-class comedian. You write a certain type of joke that you find funny, and mine happen to be often rude. Yes, it's juvenile, but that's me.

Jimmy Carr

Anger is an expensive luxury in which only men of a certain income can indulge.

St. Gregory The Great

Always! That is a dreadful word. It makes me shudder when I hear it. Women are so fond of using it. They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever. It is a meaningless word, too. The only difference between a caprice and a life-long passion is that the caprice lasts a little longer.

Oscar Wilde

Reason number 106 why dogs are smarter than humans: once you leave the litter, you server contact with your mothers.

Jodi Picoult

The humble are in danger when those in power disagree.

Phaedrus

I'm going to speak my mind because I have nothing to lose.

S. I. Hayakawa

We spend billions of pounds on welfare, yet millions are trapped on welfare. It's not worth their while going into work.

David Cameron
