Okay, how about a thread for famous quotes that apply to BB?

I'm talking about quotes from, writers, poets, historical figures, actors, politicians, etc....(NOT quotes from TVCHers or HGs). I don't think I've seen a BB thread like this before.

I'll start:

"What fresh hell is this?" - Dorothy Parker
