Great Famous Quotations
Frank Zappa
Fact of the matter is, there is no hip world, there is no straight world. There's a world, you see, which has people in it who believe in a variety of different things. Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, use that something to support their own existence.
Jacobi
It is never too late with us, so long as we are aware of our faults and bear them impatiently.
Bill Watterson
I try to make everyone's day just a little more surreal.
Mae West
Whenever I'm caught between two evils, I take the one I've never tried.
