We used to have a lot of fun. We never had any problems. We always ate. The fact that we didn't have steak? Who had steak?
Jesse Owens
How anybody expects a man to stay in business with every two-bit wowser in the country claiming a veto over what we can say and can't say and what we can show and what we can't show — it's enough to make you throw up. The whole principle is wrong; it's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't eat steak.
Robert A. Heinlein
Animals have sections in their stomachs which enable them to digest food without mastication, but human beings are supposed to chew their food before they swallow it down… So chew your food and give your salivary glands a chance to function!
Tennessee Williams
Any country that has sexual censorship will eventually have political censorship.
