Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Nature gets credit which should in truth be reserved for ourselves: the rose for its scent, the nightingale for its song; and the sun for its radiance. The poets are entirely mistaken. They should address their lyrics to themselves and should turn them into odes of self congratulation on the excellence of the human mind.: Alfred North Whitehead (1861 - 1947)
God gave us our memories so that we might have roses in December.: James M. Barrie (1860 - 1937)
The trouble with us in America isn't that the poetry of life has turned to prose, but that it has turned to advertising copy.: Louis Kronenberger
Marriage: a book of which the first chapter is written in poetry and the remaining chapters in prose.: Beverly Nichols
An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup.: H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
A novel is a piece of prose of a certain length with something wrong with it.: Unknown
California is the only state in the union where you can fall asleep under a rose bush in full bloom and freeze to death.: William Claude Dunkenfield (W. C. Fields)
It might be said that Lord Rosebery outlived his future by ten years and his past by more than twenty.: Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)
Rosencrantz: Do you think death could possibly be a boat? Guildenstern: No, no, no...Death is...not. Death isn't. You take my meaning. Death is the ultimate negative. Not-being. You can't not-be on a boat. Rosencrantz: I've frequently not been on boats. Guildenstern: No, no, no - what you've been is not on boats.: Tom Stoppard (1937 - ), "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead"

It cost about 75 cents to kill a man in Ceasar's time. The price rose to about $3,000 per man during the Napoleonic wars; to $5,000 in the American Civil War; and then to $21,000 per man in World War I. Estimates for the future wars indicate that it may cost the warring countries not less than $50,000 for each man killed.: Senator Homer T. Bone
