A signature always reveals a man's character - and sometimes even his name. Evan Esar
The Santa Monica Freeway is traditionally the scene of every form of automotive folly known to man. It is not white and well-bred like the San Diego, nor as treacherously engineered as the Pasadena, nor quite as ghetto-suicidal as the Harbor. No, one hesitates to say it, but the Santa Monica is a freeway for freaks. Thomas Pynchon
William Shakespeare quote: "What bloody man is that? He can report, As seemeth by his..."
What bloody man is that? He can report, As seemeth by his plight, of the revolt. The newest state. William Shakespeare
It would perhaps not be amiss to point out that he had always tried to be a good dog. He had tried to do all the things his MAN and his WOMAN, and most of all his BOY, had asked or expected of him. He would have died for them, if that had been required. He had never wanted to kill anybody. He had been struck by something, possibly destiny, or fate, or only a degenerative nerve disease called rabies. Free will was not a factor. Stephen King
If indeed [nature] has no greater aim than to provide a home for her greatest experiment, Man, it would be just like her methods to scatter a million stars wherof one might haply achieve her purpose. Annie Dillard
If industrial man continues to multiply his numbers and expand his operations he will succeed in his apparent intention, to seal himself off from the natural and isolate himself within a synthetic prison of his own making. Edward Abbey
Mark Twain quote: "To place man properly at the present time, he stands somewhere..."
To place man properly at the present time, he stands somewhere between the angels and the French. Mark Twain

Gerard Way quote: "I'm just a man, not a hero. just a boy, who wants to sing this..."
I'm just a man, not a hero. just a boy, who wants to sing this song. Gerard Way
If it is asserted that civilization is a real advance in the condition of man? and I think that it is, though only the wise improve their advantages? it must be shown that it has produced better dwellings without making them more costly; and the cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run. Henry David Thoreau
C. S. Forester quote: "When a man who is drinking neat gin starts talking about his..."
When a man who is drinking neat gin starts talking about his mother he is past all argument. C. S. Forester
They are Man's and they cling to me, appealing from their fathers. This boy is Ignorance and this girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased. Charles Dickens
I might be tempted to make to Christendom a proposal different from that of the Bible society. Let us collect all the New Testaments we have, let us bring them out to an open square or up to the summit of a mountain, and while we all kneel let one man speak to God thus: 'Take this book back again; we men, such as we now are, are not fit to go in for this sort of thing, it only makes us unhappy,' This is my proposal, that like those inhabitants in Gerasa we beseech Christ to depart from our...
