“In a good play every speech should be as fully flavoured as a nut or apple.”

“If you put good apples into a bad situation, you’ll get bad apples.”

“In the kitchens of love, after all, vice is like the pepper in a good sauce; it brings out the flavour, it's indispensable.”

“A good speech should be like a woman's skirt; long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest.”

“It is by being fully involved with every detail of our lives, whether good or bad, that we find happiness, not by trying to look for it directly.”

“The right to education and to free speech having been gained for woman, in the long run every other good thing was sure to be obtained.”

“The things we should be doing at Apple are things that others can’t.”

“Playing bass for Metallica is like having free speech in Cuba.”

“I don't want special protection for gays or transgender. I'm saying there should be protections for all dissident behavior and speech. Dissidents of every kind.”

“If we cannot make voluntary and conscious steps in the admirable science of universals, let us see the parts wisely, and infer the genius of nature from the best particulars with a becoming charity. What is best in each kind is an index of what should be the average of that thing. Love shows me the opulence of nature, by disclosing to me in my friend a hidden wealth, and I infer an equal depth of good in every other direction. It is commonly said by farmers that a good pear or apple costs no more time or pains to rear than a poor one; so I would have no work of art, no speech, or action, or thought, or friend, but the best.”
