"Jason had doting parents and an attention span of minus several seconds, except when it came to inventive cruelty to small furry animals, when he could be quite patient. Jason kicked, punched, bit and spat. His artwork had even frightened the life out of Miss Smith, who could generally find something nice to say about any child. He was definitely a boy with special needs. In the view of the staffroom, these began with an exorcism.."
-Thief of Time Brilliant writing.

"'But I don’t want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can’t help that,' said the Cat. 'We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.' 'How do you know I’m mad?' said Alice. 'You must be,' said the Cat. 'or you wouldn’t have come here.'" ~ "Alice in Wonderland," Lewis Carroll

Wilde quotes are very fun.
The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility! I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. Long, but good.

Mercutio - the Twain quote is what I used in our yearbook this year for a senior quote under my name.
People don't want handouts - they want handjobs. - a (very) former governor of Idaho, to riotous applause.

Before you criticise someone walk a mile in their shoes - Anon...
Then you're a mile away and they have no shoes. Can anyone attribute the second bit?

Can't remember, but read it recently...Pratchett, I think.
Here's a few good quotes I found on some web-site: "You cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in." "If the good die young then immortality must be reserved for the greatest of evils."

In keeping with the Winston Churchill theme...
After being told that he was drunk by a woman at a party, he replied with something along the lines of "I may be drunk, but you are ugly. However, in the morning, I will be sober and you will still be ugly." Not an exact quote, but you get the idea.
