| Quote:Before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, we were here. Before the pen of Jefferson etched across the pages of history the majestic words of the Declaration of Independence, we were here. If the inexpressible cruelties of slavery could not stop us, the opposition we now face will surely fail.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Admit it, sport-utility-vehicle owners! It's shaped a little differently, but it's a station wagon! And you do not drive it across rivers! You drive it across the Wal-Mart parking lot![Dave Barry] Quote:Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:A pessimist is a man who looks both ways when he crosses the street.[Laurence Peter] Quote:The cool thing about being famous is traveling. I have always wanted to travel across seas, like to Canada and stuff.[Britney Spears] Quote:If I cannot horrify, I'll go for the gross-out. I'm not proud.[Stephen King] Quote:People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them that I have the heart of a small boy...and I keep it in a jar on my desk.[Stephen King] Quote:You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later, when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip.[Jonathan Carroll] Quote:Fear is your best friend or your worst enemy. It's like fire. If you can control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you can't control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you. If you can control your fear, it makes you more alert, like a deer coming across the lawn.[Mike Tyson] Quote:I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.[George Carlin] Quote:More than any time in history mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness, the other to total extinction. Let us pray that we have the wisdom to choose correctly.[Woody Allen] Quote:What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenatrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sent iment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself amoung profoundly religious men.[Albert Einstein] Quote:I once said cynically of a politician, 'He'll doublecross that bridge when he comes to it.'[Oscar Levant] Quote:The presidency is now a cross between a popularity contest and a high school debate, with an encyclopedia of cliches the first prize.[Saul Bellow] Quote:To believe is very dull. To doubt is intensely engrossing. To be on the alert is to live, to be lulled into security is to die.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what IS that thing?![Jack Handey] Quote:I wish I had a kryptonite cross, because then you could keep both Dracula AND Superman away.[Jack Handey] Quote:Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk.[Jack Handey] Quote:Traffic is like a bad dog. It isn't important to look both ways when crossing the street. It's more important to not show fear.[P.J. O'Rourke] Quote:Dreams are postcards from our subconscious, inner self to outer self, right brain trying to cross that moat to the left. Too often they come back unread: "return to sender, addressee unknown." That's a shame because it's a whole other world out there--or in here depending on your point of view. [Dennis Koenig and Jordan Budde] Quote:Hey, what do you think drives all this grey matter up here? Electricity. It's brain waves surfing on synaptic junctions. If your radio can go out because of sun spots, why can't your cerebellum? It's all a matter of reception and it seems to me these signals are going to get crossed somehow. It's all logical. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:The conception of two people living together for twenty-five years without having a cross word suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep. [Ann Landers] Quote:Be entirely tolerant or not at all; follow the good path or the evil one. To stand at the crossroads requires more strength than you possess. [Heinrich Heine] Definitions of: rossDefinition: The rough, scaly matter on the surface of the bark of trees. |
