What is your favourite Quotation? Mine is from the great man himself Sir Winston Churchill after a lady had accused him of being drunk.

"I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly".

How about nearly anything by Jack Handey:

A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."

I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd like to see more and more planets fall under the ruthless domination of our solar system.

I bet the main reason the police keep people away from a plane crash is they don't want anybody walking in and lying down in the crash stuff, then, when somebody comes up, act like they just woke up and go, "What was THAT?!"

When you go in for a job interview, I think a good thing to ask is if they ever press charges.

If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy.

I can't stand cheap people. It makes me real mad when someone says something like, "Hey, when are you going to pay me that $100 you owe me?" or "Do you have that $50 you borrowed?" Man, quit being so cheap!

Along with dolphins and postage stamps, Kurt Vonnegut is my true love.

Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae.

Human beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia.

I really wonder what gives us the right to wreck this poor planet of ours.

Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.

True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.

Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before... He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way.

One of the few good things about modern times: If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain. You will have entertained us.

Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
--Albert Einstein

"The way to the Father is through me."

That slays me every time.

I like pre-socratics, they were very interestingly wise for their time.

"No man knows, or ever will know, the truth about the gods and about everything; for even if one happened by chance to say the complete truth, nevertheless one would not know it." -Xenophanes

"The Euro-weasels believe that weakening America will make them stronger. That's like believing that shaving someone else's head will help you grow hair."

- Neal Boortz

"The most important thing to remember about drunks is that drunks are far more intelligent than non-drunks. They spend a lot of time talking in pubs, unlike workaholics who concentrate on their careers and ambitions, who never develop their higher spiritual values, who never explore the insides of their head like a drunk does." -- Shane MacGowan

What a Legend.

I love poems of Fernando Pessoa, it's a portuguese poet.
I also love a quote of him, that he said before he died:
in english: "I know not what tomorrow will bring"
in portuguese:"Eu não sei o que o amanhã trará"

If you guys don't know him, I advice to see some of his poems.:thumbsup4

What would you do without freedom!?! Will you fight?!
Soldier: Fight? Against that? No, we will run, and we will live!
William Wallance: Alright. Fight and you may die, run, and you'll live. At least for a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now. Will you be willin, to trade, all the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance! To come back here, and tell our enemies, that they may take uor lifes, but they will never take, OUR FREEDOM
