“My art flatters nobody by imitation, it courts nobody by smoothness, nobody by petitelieness without either fal-de-lal or fiddle-de-dee; how then can I hope to be popular?”

“The Pobble who has no toes
Had once as many as we;
When they said, "Some day you may lose them all;"—
He replied, — "Fish fiddle de-dee!"”

“Whose starward eye
Saw chariot “swing low”? And who was he
That breathed that comforting, melodic sigh,
“Nobody knows de trouble I see”?”

“Nobody's talking to me, but nobody's hassling me either. I guess you can't have everything.”

“All I got is dreams. Nobody else believes. Nobody else can see. Nobody else but me.”

“I never hurt nobody but myself and that's nobody's business but my own.”

“Nobody can buy a hat without gossiping.”

“I hope nobody took the Razzle Dazzle Rose.”

“I am a sensitive artist. Nobody understands me because I am so deep. In my work, I make allusions to books that nobody else has read, music that nobody else has heard, and art that nobody else has seen. I can't help it, because I am so much more intelligent and well-rounded than everyone who surrounds me.”

“Nobody but a highlander can go about without his trousers.”
