“I'm really not that special. Really, I'm not. I was on a big TV show, but it was just a TV show.”
Clay Aiken
“This is it, folks. This is the idea which has kept me virtually unknown for the past 16 years. I have watched my crowds dwindle. I am going nowhere, and nowhere quick, but, those of you who have children, I am sorry to tell you this, but they are not special. Wait! I know some of you are going "what, what?" Let me just clarify: I know YOU think they're special ... ha ha ha! I'm aware of that. I'm just here to tell you, that they're NOT! Ha ha ha ha! Sorry. Did you know that every time a guy comes he comes two-hundred million sperm? One out of TWO-HUNDRED MILLION – that load, we're only talking about one load – connected: gee, what are the fucking odds? Do you know what that means? I've wiped nations off've my chest with a grey gymsock. ENTIRE CIVILISATIONS HAVE FLAKED AND CRUSTED IN THE HAIR AROUND MY NAVEL! [...] I've tossed universes in my underpants while napping. Boom! A Milkyway shoots into my jockeyshorts: "Unngh ... what's for fucking breakfast?!"”
Bill Hicks
“Life is too short to be small.”
Benjamin Disraeli
“You know, I'm not a big talker, especially on the stage. So this special, there is probably a little more insight.”
Tim McGraw
“We in the cast knew we had something special in this series. The big question was whether or not it would work on network television. There were no car chases or special effects. It was about politics. The action was in the word.”
Martin Sheen
“Bernie's big enough to appreciate that it's not in confrontation with Formula One on any level, ... F1 has a special niche. It expresses the engineering abilities and hi-tech developments of the world's car manufacturers. Our formula is not involved in research and development. In A1 Grand Prix, the competitors have equal equipment - the same car, engine, tyres. How well we do depends on driver skill and set-up. It is a detailed, intuitive expertise.”
John Surtees
“You are not special. Your are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else.”
Chuck Palahniuk
