Quotes :
You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it.
No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.
Never pick a fight with an ugly person, they've got nothing to lose.
Comedy is acting out optimism.
Reality is just a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs.
If women ran the world we wouldn't have wars, just intense negotiations every 28 days.
Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party!'
Why do they call it rush hour when nothing moves?
See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time.
I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you.
