Many of my favourite quotes come from three people; 1. Winston Churchil, 2. Samuel Goldwyn, 3. Fred Allen
Allen was just hilarious, like 'Suburbia is where developers demolish trees and then name the streets after them', and 'Celerities wear sunglasses even in churches, in case God recognises them and asks for an autograph'.
I also like this one from Churchill;
Random Lady: Sir, if you were my husband I'd put arsenic in your drink.
Churchill: Madam, if you were my wife, I'd drink it.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.
Derek Mahon
"Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets."
Arthur Miller
