And you can dream
So dream out loud

So don't let the bastards grind you down "

I got tons of quotes that I can't remember off the top of my head but here's a few.



Pierce Brosnan: Sean, if you have a problem with how I play James Bond, you should just tell me, okay?

Sean Connery: Well, I'll tell you a story, a parable, if you will. It's about a man, roughly your height and build, who thought a lot of himself until his teeth were knocked out by a baseball bat held by me. The end. (laughs)

- snl w/ pierce brosnan as host

-----------

You can't expect someone to love you, if you don't love yourself

- someone on GAF

-----------

"You are, who you choose to be."

- Iron Giant




That's all I got right now but keep it going. This thread is great!

"Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

“WHY, OF COURSE, the people don’t want to go to war. But, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.... All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”

I think you rather meant either of these:

"Why should I change my name? He's the one who sucks!"

"I'll be perfectly honest with you: I'm a MICHAEL BOLTON FAN! I endorse the guy's whole repertory! For my money, it doesn't gets any better than when he sings "When a man loves a woman."

Terrific.

"Years ago someone told me something... that if you play rock, you die at 27. Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix... So I figured, hell, I'll die at 27 too.

Good ol' HL Mencken. Back when conservatives were respectable, bitter academic folk with a real intellectual axe to grind instead of cheap pompadours with manufactured bile and corporate paychecks. HL Mencken and George Orwell could kick the ass of every modern American conservative combined.

are suitable only for realtors, chiropractors and presidents of the
United States. " -- HL Mencken

"Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under." -- HL Mencken

Slow time. ...and inside there was only water."
