Results from Classic Quotes:

I think it's about time we voted for senators with breasts. After all, we've been voting for boobs long enough.: Claire Sargent, on women candidates, The World Almanac and Book of Facts, 1993
To the biologist the problem of socialism appears largely as a problem of size. The extreme socialists desire to run every nation as a single business concern. I do not suppose that Henry Ford would find much difficulty in running Andorra or Luxembourg on a socialistic basis. He has already more men on his pay-roll than their population. It is conceivable that a syndicate of Fords, if we could find them, would make Belgium Ltd. or Denmark Inc. pay their way. But while nationalization of certain industries is an obvious possibility in the largest of states, I find it no easier to picture a completely socialized British Empire or United States than an elephant turning somersaults or a hippopotamus jumping a hedge.: J. B. S. Haldane (1892 - 1964), "On Being the Right Size" in the (1928) book "Possible Worlds"
My own suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we *can* suppose.: J. B. S. Haldane (1892 - 1964), "On Being the Right Size" in the (1928) book "Possible Worlds"
When a book and a head collide and there is a hollow sound, is it always from the book?: Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742 - 1799)
I've always believed in writing without a collaborator, because where two people are writing the same book, each believes he gets all the worries and only half the royalties.: Agatha Christie (1890 - 1976)

People who go broke in a big way never miss any meals. It is the poor jerk who is shy a half slug who must tighten his belt.: Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988), Excerpt from the notebooks of Lazarus Long, "Time Enough for Love"
We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done.: Book of Common Prayer, Morning Prayer
The argument that making contraceptives available to young people would prevent teen pregnancies is ridiculous. That's like offering a cookbook as a cure to people who are trying to lose weight.: Jerry Falwell (1933 - )
The average trade book has a shelf life of between milk and yogurt, except for books by any member of the Irving Wallace family - they have preservatives.: Calvin Trillin (1935 - )
For a true writer each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment. He should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed. Then sometimes, with great luck, he will succeed.: Ernest Hemingway (1899 - 1961), in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech
