27
28	-> Those were the days. Every one of us was going to have the biggest band the country had ever seen, with full houses, and people coming for miles ... But the war came and closed the roadhouses. That's why I was out of work when Paul needed someone. So I went into Oriental rugs, and I made a bundle. But you can't ever say that it's been the same for me as it was for Paul.
29	-->-- '''Barney Olender''', ''[[Literature/JohnPutnamThatcher By Hook or by Crook]]''

31	->Why they came east I don't know. They had spent a year in France, for no particular reason, and then drifted here and there unrestfully wherever people played polo and were rich together. This was a permanent move, said Daisy over the telephone, but I didn't believe it -- I had no sight into Daisy's heart but I felt that Tom would drift on forever seeking a little wistfully for the dramatic turbulence of some irrecoverable football game.
32	-->-- ''Literature/TheGreatGatsby''
33
34	->Savor the fruit of life, my young friends. It has a sweet taste when it is fresh from the vine. But don't live too long. The taste turns bitter... after a time.

40	'''Numero Cinco:''' Nobody remembers the good stuff.
41	-->-- ''Series/{{Angel}}'', "[[Recap/AngelS05E06TheCautionaryTaleOfNumeroCinco The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco]]"
42
43	->Meeting with Veidt left bad taste in mouth. He is pampered and decadent, betraying even his own shallow, liberal affections. Possibly homosexual? Must remember to investigate further. Dreiberg as bad. A flabby failure who sits whimpering in his basement. Why are so few of us left active, healthy, and without personality disorders? The first Nite Owl runs an auto-repair shop. The first Silk Spectre is a bloated, aging whore, dying in a Californian rest resort.
44	-->-- '''Rorschach''', ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}''
45
46	->In those days, he had called himself ''Ma'elKoth'', a phrase in Paquli that translates, roughly, as ''[[AGodAmI I Am Limitless]]''. ''Ma'', in Paquli, is the present nominative case of ''to be''; ''tan'' is its past tense.\
47	''I Was Limitless''."
48	-->-- Description of '''[=Tan'elKoth=]''' in ''[[Literature/TheActsOfCaine Blade of Tyshalle]]''

51	-->-- '''Gen. Douglas [=MacArthur=]'''
52
53	->Does one mellow or does one rot? The two processes are perhaps the same.
54	-->-- '''Creator/GoreVidal'''
55
56	->I'm trying to give my sons an education about movies as well. You sit there and watch a comedy, let’s say ''Film/MeetTheFockers'', and it's Creator/RobertDeNiro. You tell them this guy was at one time considered the greatest living actor. My boys look at me and say, 'Really? ''This'' guy?'
57	-->-- '''Creator/GaryOldman'''
58
59	->Makes me think about when you're walking down the street, and there are all these guys on the construction site and they whistle. And the feminist in me goes, 'How dare they.' And then one day [[HypocriticalHumor they stop whistling]] and you go, 'Don't stop! ''Whistle'', Goddammit!'
60	-->-- '''Creator/ClaudiaBlack''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qqfd01ftazM on]] her voice work in ''WesternAnimation/StrangeFrame''

62	->Here you've got [[Wrestling/HulkHogan a 46-year-old bald movie star wannabe who looks like Uncle Creepy with a good build]] taking on [[Wrestling/RoddyPiper a guy with an artificial hip that hadn't wrestled a full schedule in ten years]]. It's a tribute to the massive egotism, in my mind, of both men and indictment of Wrestling/{{WCW}}'s promotional policies that this match even took place.
63	-->-- '''Wrestling/JimCornette''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByYTyiSw1ts on]] ''Halloween Havoc''
64
65	->'''Jay:''' You know when Wrestling/ScottHall tries to do a machismo thing in 2013, and it's a bit sad? This is like a drunk, stoned woman trying to do her "[[FanDisservice sexy dance]]".\

67	-->-- ''WebVideo/OSWReview'' on Wrestling/TammyLynnSytch, ''Wrestling/{{WCW}} Thunder'' (the David Arquette trilogy)
68
69	->Everyone's old enough to qualify for Medicare, and yet they're still running around and getting naked and rolling around in the dirt like they're the same age as when they made [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries the original series]]. Creator/NichelleNichols certainly looks good for her age here, but I think most ''Trek'' fans would prefer these characters presented in a slightly more dignified way.
70	-->-- '''''Website/TheAgonyBooth''''' on ''Film/StarTrekVTheFinalFrontier''
71
72	->I once ran the Indy 500\
73	I must confess I'm impressed how I did it\
74	I wonder how close that I came\
75	Now I get a sinking sensation\
76	I was the top of the line - out of sight, out of mind\
77	[[ICouldaBeenAContender So much for fortune and fame]]
78	-->-- ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'', "Worthless"

80	->Ah, young sir, the Szekelys, and the Dracula as their heart's blood, their brains, and their swords, can boast a record that mushroom growths like the Hapsburgs and the Romanoffs can never reach.

81	-->-- '''Count Dracula''', ''Literature/{{Dracula}}''
