Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

When I was in therapy about two years ago, one day I noticed that I hadn't had any children. And I like children at a distance. I wondered if I'd like them up close. I wondered why I didn't have any. I wondered if it was a mistake, or if I'd done it on purpose, or what. And I noticed my therapist didn't have any children either. He had pictures of his cats on the wall. Framed.: Spalding Gray, from Swimming to Cambodia: The collected works of Spalding Gray
If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happen if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it?: Steven Wright (1955 - )
You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.: Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), when asked to describe radio
Women and cats do as they damned well please, and men and dogs had best learn to live with it.: Alan Holbrook
Monty Python's usual schoolboy humour is here let loose on a period of history appropriately familiar to every schoolboy in the West, and a faith which could be shaken by such good-humoured ribaldry would be a very precarious faith indeed.: The British Board Of Film Censors, in their report on _Life of Brian_
...that people often say about Him: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God." That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic--on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg--or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.: C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963), from _Mere_Christianity_
The idea of an incarnation of God is absurd: why should the human race think itself so superior to bees, ants, and elephants as to be put in this unique relation to its maker? . . Christians are like a council of frogs in a marsh or a synod of worms on a dung-hill croaking and squeaking "for our sakes was the world created.": Julian the Apostate
When we make mistakes they call it evil. When God makes mistakes they call it Nature!: Jack Nicholson's character in The Witches of Eastwick
If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, "Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number?" No. "Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence?" No. Commit it then to the flames: for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion.: David Hume (1711 - 1776)
I've got one word for the eighties. One word. Handguns. Disposable Handguns.: Bobbi Harlow's father to Steve Dallas in Bloom County
