Samuel Goldwyn (1882 - 1974)

To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.
Jack Handey (1949 - )

No man remains quite what he was when he recognizes himself.
Thomas Mann (1875 - 1955)

Ask a deeply religious Christian if he’d rather live next to a bearded Muslim that may or may not be plotting a terror attack, or an atheist that may or may not show him how to set up a wireless network in his house. On the scale of prejudice, atheists don’t seem so bad lately.
Scott Adams (1957 - ), The Dilbert Blog: Atheists: The New Gays, 11-19-06
