I was looking at some quotation pages and I thought I'd share some random quotes. (This quiz journal entry has stayed on my profile for too long)

On fashion:

The finest clothing made is a person's skin, but, of course, society demands something more than this. ~Mark Twain

A dress that zips up the back will bring a husband and wife together. ~James H. Boren


If men can run the world, why can't they stop wearing neckties? How intelligent is it to start the day by tying a little noose around your neck? ~Linda Ellerbee ( I think this one's funny!)


Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society. ~Mark Twain


I don't know who invented the high heel, but all men owe him a lot. ~Marilyn Monroe

Never wear anything that panics the cat. ~P.J. O'Rourke


On horses:


Riding: The art of keeping a horse between you and the ground. ~Author Unknown


He knows when you're happy
He knows when you're comfortable
He knows when you're confident
And he always knows when you have carrots.

On homosexuality:

If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work: "Hello. Can't work today, still queer." ~Robin Tyler

If gays are granted rights, next we'll have to give rights to prostitutes and to people who sleep with St. Bernards and to nailbiters. ~Anita Bryant

Anita Bryant like Anita hole in the head. ~Graffiti


I think God is a callous bitch not making me a lesbian. I'm deeply disappointed by my sexual interest in men. ~Diamanda Galas

- If I gave her the wool, would she make me one too?

On optimism:
