"I have learned that there lies dormant..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“The vast majority of the race whether savage or civilized, are secretly kind at heart and shrink from inflicting pain, but in the presence of the aggressive and pitiless minority they don't dare to assert themselves.”

“We have not the reverent feeling for the rainbow that the savage has, because we know how it is made. We have lost as much as we gained by prying into that matter.”

“I am not given to exaggeration, and when I say a thing I mean it.”

“You can't control who likes you. If I got Backstreet Boy fans what am I supposed to do? Turn them away? Whoever likes my stuff, likes my stuff but just know Slim Shady is hip hop, I grew up on hip hop, it's the music I love and it's the music I respect. I respect the culture...that's me.”

“I wake up every day trying to give something back to you that you can rock to and be proud of.”

“Meanings of all songs come after they are recorded. Someone else has to interpret them”

“Human nature is good, just as water seeks low ground. There is no man who is not good, just as there is no water that does not flow downward.”

“I have ever hated all nations, professions, and communities, and all my love is toward individuals: for instance, I hate the tribe of lawyers, but I love Counsellor Such-a-one, and Judge Such-a-one: so with physicians - I will not speak of my own trade - soldiers, English, Scotch, French, and the rest. But principally I hate and detest that animal called man, although I heartily love John, Peter, Thomas, and so forth. This is the system upon which I have governed myself many years, but do not tell.”

“Love based upon indulgence of animal passion, is at best a selfish affair, and likely to snap under the slightest strain.”
