Quote by Ferdinand Magellan

The Church says that the Earth is flat, but I know that it is round. For I have seen the shadow on the moon and I have more faith in the Shadow than in the Church.

Famous quote by Angus Deayton

Top 5 quotes by Ken Kesey

I'd rather be a lightning rod than a seismograph.

Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing.

People think love is an emotion. Love is good sense.

I'm so insane, I voted for Eisenhower. Oh yeah, well I'm so insane, I voted for Eisenhower TWICE!

The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer-- they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.

Fran Lebowitz quotes

Life is something you do when you can't get to sleep.

Contrary to popular opinion, the hustle is not a new dance step - it is an old business procedure.

As a teenager you are at the last stage in your life when you will be happy to hear that the phone is for you.

My favorite animal is steak.

Your responsibility as a parent is not as great as you might imagine. You need not supply the world with the next conqueror of disease or major motion-picture star. If your child simply grows up to be someone who does not use the word collectible as a noun, you can consider yourself an unqualified success.

Emil Ludwig quotes

Many a person has held close, throughout their entire lives, two friends that always remained strange to one another, because one of them attracted by virtue of similarity, the other by difference.

This statesman was no conqueror, but his superiority consisted in his moral conquest; this President vanquished no foreign people, and his superiority lay in his self-constraint; this excellent judge of human nature cast a spell over nobody, yet is more fascinating than the shining victors of history.

Debate is the death of conversation.

Top 5 quotes by Gay Talese

Better that you should take the chance of trying something that is close to your heart, you think is what you want to write, and if they do not publish it, put it in your drawer. But maybe another day will come and you will find a place to put that.

The real problem is what to do with the problem-solvers after the problems are solved.

People go to restaurants for so many different reasons. To court a girl, to make some deal. Maybe to talk to some lawyer about how to get an alimony settlement better than they got last week.

News, if unreported, has no impact. It might as well have not happened at all.

Yes there is a little group of soccer aficionados, but I am not one of them.

Quotes by Tony Blair

We, therefore, here in Britain stand shoulder to shoulder with our American friends in this hour of tragedy, and we, like them, will not rest until this evil is driven from our world.

I believe Mrs. Thatcher's emphasis on enterprise was right.

The art of leadership is saying no, not yes. It is very easy to say yes.

Quotes by Warren Earl Burger

There can be no assumption that today's majority is right and the Amish and others like them are wrong. A way of life that is odd or even erratic but interferes with no rights or interests of others is not to be condemned because it is different.

Guilt or innocence becomes irrelevant in the criminal trial as we flounder in a morass of artificial rules poorly conceived and often impossible of application.

Calculated risks of abuse are taken in order to preserve higher values.

Free speech carries with it some freedom to listen.

Algernon Charles Swinburne quotes

Body and spirit are twins: God only knows which is which.

A calcined, scalped, rasped, scraped, flayed, broiled, powdered, leprous, blotched, mangy, grimy, parboiled country without trees, water, grass, fields ... it is infinitely liker hell than earth, and one looks for tails among the people.

Before the beginning of years
And Life, the shadow of death.

For winter's rains and ruins are over,
Blossom by blossom the spring begins.

Yet leave me not; yet, if thou wilt, be free;
Love me no more, but love my love of thee.

Quotes by Randy Jackson

I can't touch Simon anymore.

You're one of the most natural, great singers I've heard in a long time.

James Caan quotes

I've been lucky. The critics never went out of their way to single me out for doing bad work.

I think we have to believe in things we don't see. That's really important for all of us, whether it's your religion or Santa Claus, or whatever. That's pretty much what it's about.

There are a lot of guys in Hollywood who clap you on the back just a little too hard.

You have to be very careful when you let someone win.

Quotes by Joey Ramone

Well, I think we're the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world.

I enjoyed my life when I had nothing... and kinda like the idea of just being happy with me.

For better or worse, MTV sort of bridges the whole country together almost like the BBC does in England. It's opened up everything so wide that it's possible for everyone to have different ideas.

The Ramones own the fountain of youth. Experiencing us is like having the fountain of youth.

Top 5 quotes by Randall Terry

I've traveled all over the country for years speaking in churches, teaching the Ten Commandments. It's amazing if 2 percent of any congregation knows the Ten Commandments.

America should function as a Christian nation.

If God is sovereign, then it is impossible for civil government to be neutral on issues of law. All law is based in some religious code.

If the Christians who were alive in the 1770s behaved and believed like the Christians of today, there wouldn't be an America as we know it.

It's interesting to note that all revolutionary literature was written by pastors. These guys were involved in a revolution against the mightiest power that the world had ever seen.

My favorite quotes by Addison Mizner

Ignorance of the law excuses no man from practicing it.

Where there is a will there is a lawsuit.

Famous quote by Chaim Weizmann

A law is something which must have a moral basis, so that there is an inner compelling force for every citizen to obey.

Top 5 quotes by Ray Nagin

We are facing a storm that most of us have long feared.

Basically, the start of my thinking process is: 'OK, if you didn't have to worry about re-election, what would you be doing?' That's kind of how I'm starting to think.

Ladies and gentlemen, I wish I had better news for you but we are facing a storm that most of us have feared. This is a threat that we've never faced before.

The people of our city are holding on by a thread. Time has run out. Can we survive another night? And who can we depend on? Only God knows.

Mother Teresa quotes

The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved.

Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given.

Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.

Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.

I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.

Theodor Seuss Geisel quotes

Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting.

I like nonsense - it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. Its a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope...and that enables you to laugh at all of lifes realities.

Preachers in pulpits talked about what a great message is in the book. No matter what you do, somebody always imputes meaning into your books.

You have brains in your head.
Any direction you choose.

Adults are obsolete children.

Top 5 quotes by Moon Unit Zappa

I like to think of myself as a New Yorker, which is pathetic.

My parents were extremely generous. The people they would get to work for them might not have regular bathing habits, but they'd be good at wearing masking tape on their nipples.

I've got a new relationship and I'm trapped in this old life.

How strange, when your father's wearing women's clothes and platform shoes, that a pair of loafers looks incredible.

Gag me with a spoon!
