"Live fast, die young, and have a good-looking corpse." ---James Dean "Two out of three ain't bad." ---Meat Loaf "The best I can hope for is one out of three." ---Keith Richards ======== full disclosure: James Dean never said that. The full quote came when he was asked what he wanted on his tombstone: “You remember the movie Bogart made — Knock on Any Door — and the line ‘Live fast, die young, and have a good-looking corpse?’ I’m going to be so good-looking they’re going to have to cement me in the coffin.”

A word of caution: If you ever meet someone from Kansas, avoid Wizard of Oz quotes and references. And, no, they don't know the other person you met from Kansas.

OK added some Shatner. We were watching Big Bang Theory last night and some guy (Dean Norris from Breaking Bad) says something about "the death star from Star Trek" and Sheldon about loses it. The setup is he's supposed to not talk. It's at about 1:50 in the clip below.

there's quite a few i like, here's two, the first a little gloopy, the second not “And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about.” “What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”

"Ending a sentence with a preposition is something, up with which, I shall not put." - Winston Churchill
But apparently Winston was just being very sarcastic when he said it because an editor of one of his books had corrected his grammar and he didn't approve. Winston wasn't nearly that pedantic.
