"I did not have sex with that woman...Monica Lewinsky." --Billy Clinton
"He was nauseous with regret when he saw her face again, and when, as of yore, he pleaded and begged at her knees for the joy of her being. She understood Neal; she stroked his hair; she knew he was mad."
---Jack Kerouac, On The Road: The Original Scroll
"...I will tell you that the Senate certainly can bring about a censure resolution and it's a slap on the wrist. It's a, 'Bad boy, Bill Clinton. You're a naughty boy.' The American people already know that Bill Clinton is a bad boy, a naughty boy. I'm going to speak out for the citizens of my state, who in the majority think that Bill Clinton is probably even a nasty, bad, naughty boy."
Senator Larry Craig
"This is what my soul was telling me, and I was hesitating for a long time, for I was afraid that at the moment of my departure, the beautiful Fatma, the baker's daughter, on account of me, being six months pregnant, would raise a yell throughout Baghdad, which wouldn't please me, for this virgin is capable of screaming so loudly that the dromedaries startle. So I called her to me and offered her a hundred coins and seven goats, which she willingly accepted, and I realized that I acted amiss, for when she was leaving, she told me that my gift came as a nice surprise, for she had been sure that not me, but certain ginger scribe of Vizier was father of her baby, or maybe cobbler Ibrahim. She also had some suspicions about two whirling dervishes. But she had never even thought of me."

"The best argument against democracy is a five minutes conversation with the average voter."
-Winston Churchill, this man was a quote machine and a very smart man.
"There is a concatenation of all events in the best of possible worlds; for, in short, had you not been kicked out of a fine castle for the love of Miss Cunegund; had you not been put into the Inquisition; had you not traveled over America on foot; had you not run the Baron through the body; and had you not lost all your sheep, which you brought from the good country of El Dorado, you would not have been here to eat preserved citrons and pistachio nuts."
- Voltaire at the end of Candide.

Here is one that I truly love.
"My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep. The more I give thee, the more I have, For both are infinite." - William Shakespeare
but I'd have to say that my favorite quote of all time is... my signature...

"Love is long-suffering and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, does not get puffed up, does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury. It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

"according to these tests, you put the upid in stupid." -Chris Rock
Fair is foul, and foul is fair.
If Galileo had said in verse that the world moved, the Inquisition might have let him alone.
-Thomas Hardy
The strangest whim has seized me...After all
I think I will not hang myself today.
a house doesn't make a home
early to bed and late to rise make me healthy, wealthy,and wise.
The lies are the only human privilege that no other organisms have.

Pitiful creatur of darkness,
What kind of world have you known?
God give me courage to guide me,
You are not alone.
Amicus Plato, sed magis amica veritas
I like you Plato, but truth even more!
It's Aristotelus quote, and Plato(very famous Greek philosopher) was his teacher.

At thunder and tempest, At the world's coldheartedness,
During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.
To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.

FAITH, n.
Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel. Ambrose Bierce

To bazarov: I don't think Ambrose defined conundrum. He did define religion....RELIGION, n.
A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.
"What is your religion my son?" inquired the Archbishop of Rheims.
"Pardon, monseigneur," replied Rochebriant; "I am ashamed of it."
"Then why do you not become an atheist?"
"Impossible! I should be ashamed of atheism."
"In that case, monsieur, you should join the Protestants."
