"The ball is wild" - Gary Stern

Wichita, KS
"If there's two things I know, it's women, and exactly what is going to happen in the future."
"Upon the night,
Betwixt earth and flesh,
The grinding of souls whispers a tale
Of how the dead do dance."
"Having learned that few things turn out the way you plan, that things are seldom better ( and usually worse) than you expected them to be, I am not often surprised by anything that happens. I am frequently disgusted and usually irritated, but seldom surprised. I have learned that it is usually impossible to understand an event while it is in fact happening; any true understanding comes only after the fact, if it comes at all."
-Arthur Jones
Best quote ever, taken from the book-

Quoted from poppapin:"The ball is wild" - Gary Stern
I'm pretty sure Harry Williams was the first to coin that phrase in print.
Quoted from DennisDodel:"I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
Do you realize that anybody under 25 will not have a clue to what you are talking about.

Quoted from cottonm4:That was W.C. Fields
I think the quote itself actually came from Winston Churchill but it is very similar to a line from a WC Field's movie. So, I'll stand by my claim that the quote is from Churchill but the inspiration for it came from WC Fields...
If World War III can start in a vacuum of silence and stonewalling by the White House, we are doomed like rats in a maze of fear. We are slaves to mendacity and hostile disinformation. Bread and circuses were not enough to sustain the Roman Empire and they will not be enough for the United States of America.
-- Hunter S Thompson, Hey Rube: Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and the Downward Spiral of Dumbness (2005)
Her: “How do you write women so well?”
Him: “I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability.”
Litvinov
Judge not lest he be judged
He who is without sin can cast the first stone
And my favorite eat s*** and die
Kill one man, and you are a murderer. Kill millions of men, and you are a conqueror. Kill them all, and you are a God!

As a youth, asking my mother permission to do something, "go ask your father"
Ask my father and get "go ask your mother"

In honor of 9-11, "I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon."
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:In honor of 9-11, "I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon."
So many quotes from that day.
"40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was actually, before the World Trade Center, was the tallest — and then, when they built the World Trade Center, it became known as the second tallest. And now it’s the tallest."
