the other day a friend of mine told me a story about a conversation he had his father, who was a professional Bull Fighter by the way...

he told his father that he sleeps around because he is waiting for his one true love to appear...

Dave... 'dad, someday my ship will come in'
father... 'yes, but you're waiting at the bus station'

I don’t know if these are the best quotes but they are absolutely the most frightening that I have ever heard “ she is watching the detectives as they go for a visit to her parents , confirming their worst fears about their daughter’s disappearance.”

"If you want me, I'll be in the bar."

It's a song lyric, but I use it often.

"One small step for man________one giant leap for mankind"

Neil Armstrong as he became the first human to step onto the surface of the Moon

Armstrong later claimed he actually said - "One small step for a man"

very difficult to hear the "a" in the recording but much later analysts were able to determine that that is actually what he did say

I don't remember the exact wording, but when the Purdue tag line was translated into Spanish it read, "It takes a virile man to arouse a chicken."

when asked by a reporter why he robbed banks, the legendary Willie Sutton replied:

"Because that's where the money is"

Willie, if you believe him, was a gentleman bank robber
he didn't want to hurt anybody
he claimed the guns he carried were never loaded

a couple of quotes from Beatles songs about money:

"Money don't get everything, it's true
But what it don't get, I can't use"

"Well I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love"

and one from Bo Derek:

"Whoever said money can't buy happiness doesn't know where to go shopping"

and one last one from Mad Magazine:

"What good is happiness? It can't buy money."

The album cover serves as a warning to the youth of America. This is what happens when you wear cut-away jackets, pegged trousers, and you let your hair touch your ears. And no narrow ties for school wear, please.

Don't end up on the wrong side of the Law!

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

"We're all going to die, all of us; what a circus! That alone should make us love each other, but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities. We are eaten up by nothing."

Bukowski
