"It's total, total childish trash. I'm ashamed of it. I am very bitter about it,I feel betrayed. I feel I've not been told the truth. We were moving to Florida. We were going to present human beings who had a life on land as well as on the boat. We've had one script that has done that. The other shows are Saturday afternoon 4 o'clock junk for children. Just junk - old, tired, time-warp robot crap. It's not real. It's not even good fantasy. I mean, Star Trek does this stuff much better than we can do it. To me the show is now 21 Jump Street meets `Star Dreck.'''

I believe that our Heavenly Father invented man because he was disappointed in the monkey. I believe that whenever a human being, of even the highest intelligence and culture, delivers, an opinion upon a matter apart from his particular and especial line of interest, training and experience, it will always be an opinion so foolish and so valueless a sort that it can be depended upon to suggest to our Heavenly Father that the human being is another disappointment and that he is no considerable improvement upon the monkey.
--Mark Twain.

Gore Vidal, in the middle of an autobiographical piece on his family:

"But this is all starting to sound like a bad novel, or, worse, a good one."

I can't think of just one quote, I gotta mention several of them.

'I want to thank the Good Lord for making me a Yankee.' - Joe DiMaggio

Pretty much everything ever spoken by Vin Scully

'Jolan tru, SUCKERS!' - Bonz :devil:

And of course:

'Good evening...ladies and gentlemen...welcome to Yankee Stadium.' - Bob Sheppard
 
Re: You favorite quote from a real celebrity. Not an fictional charter

"For the contingent out there who sneer at heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman and Captain America, those icons who still, at their core, represent selfless sacrifice for the greater good, and who justify their contempt by saying, oh, it’s so unrealistic, no one would ever be so noble… grow up. Seriously. Cynicism is not maturity, do not mistake the one for the other. If you truly cannot accept a story where someone does the right thing because it’s the right thing to do, that says far more about who you are than these characters." -- Greg Rucka.

"I would never talk just to be social. Now, to sit down with a bunch of engineers and talk about the latest concrete forming systems, that's really interesting. Talking with animal behaviorists or with someone who likes to sail, that's interesting. Information is interesting to me. But talking for the sake of talking, I find that quite boring." - Temple Grandin

I have a whole bunch from her that I love. She's brilliant.
