Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

I've always thought respectable people scoundrels, and I look anxiously at my face every morning for signs of my becoming a scoundrel.: Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)
Television is democracy at its ugliest.: Paddy Chayefsky
Television is more interesting than people. If it were not, we would have people standing in the corners of our rooms.: Alan Corenk
Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how its done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves.: Brendan Behan (1923 - 1964)
No statue has ever been put up to a critic.: Jean Sibelius (1865 - 1957)
If you are of the opinion that the contemplation of suicide is sufficient evidence of a poetic nature, do not forget that actions speak louder than words.: Fran Lebowitz (1950 - )
The cowards never start and the weak die along the way.: Kit Carson
If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.: Mario Andretti (1940 - )
Men can do nothing without the make-believe of a beginning. Even Science, the strict measurer, is obliged to start with a make-believe unit, and must fix on a point in the stars' unceasing journey when his sidereal clock shall pretend that time is Nought. His less accurate grandmother Poetry has always been understood to start in the middle; but on reflection it appears that her proceeding is not very different from his; since Science, too, reckons backward as well as forward, divides his unit into billions, and with his clock-finger at Nought really sets off _in medias res_. No retrospect will take us to the true beginning; and whether our prologue be in heaven or on earth, it is but a fraction of that all-presupposing fact with which our story sets out.: George Eliot (1819 - 1880), from "Daniel Deronda"
Everyone who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching.: Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)
