All of this suggests that while citizens became more comfortable with President Bush after September 11 and thought him to have the requisite leadership skills, they continue to harbor doubts about his priorities, loyalties, interests, and policies

The weapon of suicide bombarding is edgy to the point that you aren’t left with the probability of delivering retribution or rebuffing anybody; the fear-based oppressor is executed alongside his unfortunate casualties, his blood blending in with theirs.

Nothing transformed the politics, the economy and the table of Europe like the potato. The tuber from Peru.

There’s no reason to assume that my idea of what’s better would really be better. I resent it when other people try to inflict their ideas of betterness on me. I don’t think they know. And I can’t see any authority on the horizon that’s got any answers that seem worthwhile. Most of the things that are suggested are probably detrimental to your mental health

The refutation of suicide: is it not inelegant to abandon a world which has so willingly put itself at the service of our melancholy?

When people come to me saying they want to kill themselves, I tell them, “What’s your rush? You can kill yourself any time you like. So calm down. Suicide is a positive act.” And they do calm down.

A distant enemy is always preferable to one at the gate.

The obsession with suicide is characteristic of the man who can neither live nor die, and whose attention never swerves from this double impossibility.

Honeypie, I’m far too fly to be on standby Sending me straight to voicemail, sugar, what the hell?

There is nothing in biology yet found that indicates the inevitability of death. This suggests to me that it is not at all inevitable and that it is only a matter of time before biologists discover what it is that is causing us the trouble.

If you fall out of that window and break both your legs, don’t come running to me.

What the mind has to do is not to suggest a reply, but to remain quiet so that the true reply can arise.

Duh! So, we’re asking you now, what are some of your favorite lines that this warlock brain produced?

A lot of people provide me with quotes. They suggest all kinds of things to say and I do, really, because I’m not very hip at all.

I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But as much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases

What’s said is said and goes upon its way Like it or not, repent it as you may.

To be free is better than to be unfree – always. Any politician who suggests the opposite should be treated as suspect.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to appellation.

Mr. Vice President, in all due respect, it is – I’m not sure 80 percent of the people get the death tax. I know this: 100 percent will get it if I’m the president.

Sex appeal is something that you feel deep down inside. It’s suggested rather than shown. I’m not as well-stacked as Sophia Loren or Gina Lollobrigida, but there is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don’t need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.

Once you start to speak, people will yell at you. They will interrupt you, put you down and suggest it’s personal. And the world won’t end.

In my case, I can sincerely say that nothing is impossible… When I was saying I want to be No. 1 of the world, and I was seven or eight years old, most of the people were laughing at me because it seems like I have one percent of chances to do that, and I’ve done it

When a lot of remedies are suggested for a disease, that means it cannot be cured.

The universe may have a purpose, but nothing we know suggests that, if so, this purpose has any similarity to ours.

I’d asked around 10 or 15 people for suggestions. Finally, one lady friend asked the right question, ‘Well, what do you love most?’ That’s how I started painting money

The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus

The reward of suffering is experience

Every start upon an untrodden path is a venture which only in unusual circumstances looks sensible and likely to be successful

Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sigh

As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means

My mother always told me not to handle a buffalo by its tail, but always catch it by its horns. And I have used that lesson in everything in my life, including the Railways.
