Does anyone actually read a myspace page when there are pictures to look at and sounds to play? Well, anyway, on to the quotes! Quotes are a way of looking more intelligent without actually thinking.
"MORE: And go he should, if he was the Devil himself, until he broke the law!
ROPER: So now you'd give the Devil benefit of law!
MORE: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
ROPER: I'd cut down every law in England to do that!
MORE: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you-where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country's planted thick with laws from coast to coast-man's laws, not God's-and if you cut them down-and you're just the man to do it-d'you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?"
-Robert Bolt, "A Man For All Seasons"
"I lived in the Palace of Sans-Souci, where sorrow is not allowed to enter. In the daytime I played with my companions in the garden, and in the evening i led the dance in the Great Hall. Round the garden ran a very lofty wall, but I never cared to ask about what lay beyond it, everything about me was so beautiful. My courtiers called me the Happy Prince, and happy indeed I was, if pleasure be happiness."
-Oscar Wilde, "The Happy Prince"
"All good books have one thing in common - they are truer than if they had really happened."
-Ernest Hemingway
"NOW this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back—
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack."
-Rudyard Kipling, The Second Jungle Book
