“It's a very odd thing / As odd as can be / That whatever Miss T. eats / Turns into Miss T.”
Walter de La Mare
“On Louis Theroux: He's quiet, gangly and teases people into saying very odd things. Whatever he's got, they should bottle it.”
Chris Tarrant
“As far as I know, we've never recovered a car that has been missing almost four decades. The odds against finding it so many years afterward were phenomenal.”
Mike Fleming
“It is an odd thing, but every one who disappears is said to be seen at San Francisco. It must be a delightful city, and possess all the attractions of the next world.”
Oscar Wilde
“The odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it.”
Mal Pancoast
“The things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds, and sometimes he needs somebody, his pal or his mother or his wife or God, to give him that confidence. He's got to have some inner standards worth fighting for or there won't be any way to bring him into conflict. And he must be ready to choose death before dishonor without making too much song and dance about it. That's all there is to it.”
Clark Gable
“Regret is an odd emotion because it comes only upon reflection. Regret lacks immediacy, and so its power seldom influences events when it could do some good.”
William O'Rourke
