Late leaves

The leaves are falling; so am I;
The few late flowers have moisture in the eye;
So have I too.
Scarcely on any bough is heard
Joyous, or even unjoyous, bird
The whole wood through.
Winter may come: he brings but nigher
His circle (yearly narrowing) to the fire
Where old friends meet.
Let him; now heaven is overcast,
And spring and summer both are past,
And all things sweet.

Walter Savage Landor (1775 – 1864)

Love makes fools, marriage cuckolds, and patriotism malevolent imbeciles.

Paul Leautaud (1872 - ?)

I got stuck on a blind date with a dog.
Ernest Borgnine – Marty

I'm particular with who I murder, you know, I wouldn't like to kill just anybody.
Orson Welles – The Lady From Shanghai

I’m accustomed to a reasonable quantity of tabacco and alcohol.
Bette Davies – Dark Victory

I do hateful things for which people love me, and I do loveable things for which they hate me.
Gene Kelly – Inherit the Wind

You gonna fit in real good, of course, unless you get rabbit in your blood and you decide to take off home.
Strother Martin – Cool Hand Luke
