Chuck PalahniukOut in Hollywood, where the streets are paved with Goldwyn, the word "sophisticate" means, very simply, "obscene." A sophisticatedstory is a dirty story. Some of that meaning was wafted eastward and got itself mixed up into the present definition.

Fyodor DostoevskyTake not into your ear that scum of hell that people call tittle-tattle.

We would make fun of hippies. I think that we were punk before there was punk.

Just hearing it was like violating the law.

They respect big. They don't even have to like your music. If you're big enough, people are drawn to you.

Somerset MaughamSeems to me we move the furniture, the French come in later and put the doilies on top of it...It's a simple fact they've always been reluctant to surrender to the wishes of their friends and are almost anticipatory in their urge to surrender to wishes of their enemies.
