“Ego is the man, the male image. Ego is the phallic symbol, the helmet, the gun. The man behind the gun, the mind behind the man behind the gun. My philosophy is that ego is the thinking mind. The mind you scheme with, make war with. They shoved all the love in the back, hid it away. Ego is like, "I'm going to war with my ego stick."”
Charles Manson
“Dance, dance, dance little lady, / Leave tomorrow behind.”
Noel Coward
“Blow the dust off the clock. Your watches are behind the times. Throw open the heavy curtains which are so dear to you -- you do not even suspect that the day has already dawned outside.”
Alexander Solzhenitsyn
“All my movies have an autobiographical dimension, but that is indirectly, through the characters. In fact I am behind everything that happens and that is said, but I am never talking about myself in first person.

Pedro Almodovar
“If you're a cowboy and you're dragging a guy behind your horse, I bet it would really make you mad if you looked back and the guy was reading a magazine.”
Jack Handy
“I was so naive as a kid I used to sneak behind the barn and do nothing.”
Johnny Carson
“O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?”
