When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times…I learned very early in life that: ‘Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend – without a song.’ So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you.
An amazing breathlessness arises because we fill our lives with emptiness and Facebook.

I am a bourgeois, but I am not a Left-woman. I was born a bourgeois, and I have always tried not to stand on a pedestal and say that I am a worker. That would be false talk. Nor during the many years when the red hirelings were around and held their noses at the thought of “Matador” and everything else I did. I’m not a peasant either. I was born a bourgeois, but that is why I can criticise the bourgeoisie and their shabby schemes, which I can easily see through.

When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving, him a liar: you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.
If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.
When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.
His shiny ice flashes like the sword of Athens in the setting French evening sun.
Even when your life seems most monotonous, what you do is always of real value — and importance to your fellow men.
I thought I was stone rich, so I poured money out with both hands – and now I owe right and left.
I won! I won! I don’t have to go to school anymore.
life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you’re gonna get.
In a rain of dollar bills, anything can be done
The pill is one of the biggest advances I’ve seen.
These are two humans who, by technology and science, have created ways that can fight crime and get rid of bad people. However, In that contest, my money’s on Iron Man because he invented everything that he uses. Batman, however, has engineers.
With great powers comes great responsibilities.
I knew we had to drive on cobblestones, but I didn’t know they had thrown them down from a helicopter.
Build a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.
