My only wish is that my wishes be at rest.

I do not like being famous. I like being normal.

Vince Gill

I'm sick to death of famous people standing up and using their celebrity to promote a cause. If I see a particular need, I do try to help. But there's a lot that can be achieved by putting a check in the right place and shutting up about it.

Russell Crowe

I have traveled a long road from the battlefield to the peace table.

Moshe Dayan

I have been a hundred times on the point of killing myself, but still was fond of life. This ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our worst instincts. What can be more absurd than choosing to carry a burden that one really wants to throw to the ground? To detest, and yet to strive to preserve our existence? To caress the serpent that devours us, and hug him close to our bosoms till he has gnawed into our hearts?

Voltaire

We're thinking about upgrading from SunOS 4.1.1 to SunOS 3.5.

Henry Spencer

The business of the poet is not to find new emotions, but to use the ordinary ones and, in working them up into poetry, to express feelings which are not in actual emotions at all.

T. S. Eliot

Here closed in death th' attentive eyes That saw the manners in the face.

Samuel Johnson

What they could do with 'round here is a good war. What else can you expect with peace running wild all over the place? You know what the trouble with peace is? No organization.

Bertolt Brecht

How big can we get before we get bad?

Jay Chiat

David and Dad didn't get along too well growing up. I mean we all got along, but it was harder on David, because David wasn't going to be the son that Dad wanted. But now they're like best friends.

Amy Sedaris

My family can always tell when I'm well into a novel because the meals get very crummy.

Anne Tyler

As it is a major component of blood, water is vital for transporting oxygen to the brain. Heaven forbid that your blood should dry out.

Ben Goldacre
