I don't believe in marriage. It's bloody impractical. 'To love, honor, and obey.' If it weren't, you wouldn't have to sign a contract.
I believe how I act today will affect how I am tomorrow.
I can't say I believe in prizes. I was a whiz in the three-legged race - that's something you CAN win.
Now how can anybody look at that and not believe in God? I mean, how can anybody look at this and not believe there is some higher power, some divine force at work in the universe greater than Man, some god that created it, that created all this, that created us?
I don't believe in religion. I believe the example of Christ. I believe in the example of a perfect human being that if you can live for other people away from yourself you will be happy. If you live for yourself you will be unhappy and then you will not be able to sleep or do anything else... finally. I think insofar, and I really believe this, insofar as people do live with the other fellow [God] in mind, they have to be happy you know? Because it raises you up.
I'm an atheist, and that's it. I believe there's nothing we can know except that we should be kind to each other and do what we can for people.
Drive on. We'll sweep up the blood later!
I don't care what is written about me so long as it isn't true.
I don't care what is written about me as long as it isn't true.
Only the really plain people know about love-the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they soon exhaust their talents.
My greatest strength is... common sense. I'm really a standard brand - like Campbell's tomato soup or Baker's chocolate.
It's life, isn't it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.
The noise is so loud that birds, waves, and people are silenced by the frantic roar of morons screaming and tearing back and forth, back and forth, devastating the peace of a quiet day at the beach and the joy of fellow boatmen on the water.
If you want to give up the admiration of thousands of men for the distain of one, go ahead, get married.
