"Friendth, Romanth, countrymen, lend me your earsth...." - Quote by Mike Tyson

“The U.S. prostitutes are fighting with everybody, shooting at everybody. It's like dating a gangbanger.”

“In the scheme of life, in emotion and loss, I responded the way I did. I lost. I shouldn't have responded that way. I've had some people tell me that I did a great thing - sticking up for myself - but to me, personally, with the way that I handled my emotions, I lost. But I learned. That will not happen again.”

“I asked my old man if I could go ice-skating on the lake. He told me, "Wait til it gets warmer."”

“It would be useless to bomb Washington. If you destroy one building, they already have two other buildings completely staffed with people doing exactly the same thing.”

“I'm so bored. I went to the food locker yesterday to visit my meat.”

“Novels so often provide an anodyne and not an antidote, glide one into torpid slumbers instead of rousing one with a burning brand.”

“These (literary) studies are the food of youth, and consolation of age; they adorn prosperity, and are the comfort and refuge of adversity; they are pleasant at home, and are no incumbrance abroad; they accompany us at night, in our travels, and in our rural retreats.”

“It is the nature of the artist to mind excessively what is said about him. Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.”
