One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.
Thomas Sowell
Maybe this is why so many serial killers work in pairs. It`s nice not to feel alone in a world full of victims or enemies. It`s no wonder Waltraud Wagner, the Austrian Angel of Death, convinced her friends to kill with her.
Chuck Palahniuk
Thanks for your nice little note, though I am sorry to hear you find Through the Looking Glass so uninteresting. You see I have done my best, so it isn`t really my fault if you think Tweedledum and Tweedledee stupid, and wish that I had left out all about...
Lewis Carroll
Globalization, as defined by rich people like us, is a very nice thing... you are talking about the Internet, you are talking about cell phones, you are talking about computers. This doesn`t affect two-thirds of the people of the world.
Jimmy Carter
When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That`s relativity.
Albert Einstein

(On starting out in L.A. and his fame level now) A little job here, a little job there, and after six months in L.A., I was paying for my rent and my meals. Very slowly, the tiniest of snowballs snowballed from there. At some point, the snowball got to be...

A bunch of girls, swinging from a nice chandelier, landing on top of me naked...while I lay in a pool of steaming hot water! --On his spring break fantasy
Eminem
Now, I quite like it. For years I sat in these interviews and everyone said, You`re always Mister Nice Guy, why don`t you ever play someone nasty?" So in fact it`s been a relief to be...for the real me to come out more on camera. I don`t have any particul...
Hugh Grant
I would have loved to make a lot of money as an actor. I would have loved to not live in a shitty little apartment for most of the time I`ve been in Los Angeles. I would have loved to have nice things and bought new cars, but it`s painful for me to do a b...

[To a group of reporters upon winning his Oscar, 1958]: No doorstop shenanigans for me, boys. I have a nice mantel where I`m going to display it.
Alec Guinness
I feel I have a responsibility, as an actress, as a Colombian immigrant, and just as a person, to show people reality. It would be nice to be an actress who loves action movies, but I`m not that kind of actress.
Catalina Moreno
On her `Degrassi` character, Terri McGreggor: "There are things I like and don`t like about Terri. I like that she`s so laid back and that she`s nice. The only thing I don`t like is that she`s so self-conscious, but it`s realistic, `cause there are lots o...
Christina Schmidt
I was up to, I`m told, because, of course, you don`t remember if you drink that much, about two-and-a-half to three bottles of hard liquor a day. Fascinating idea, of course, drink on that scale. It`s rather nice to have gone through it and to have surviv...

Vierde man, De (1983) [["The Fourth Man"] has to do with my vision of religion. In my opinion, Christianity is nothing more than one of many interpretations of reality, neither more nor less. Ideally, it would be nice to believe that there is a God somewh...
Paul Verhoeven
Dana and I are two completely different people. Dana is very sarcastic, she`s not afraid to say anything, if she has something on her mind, she`ll say it. Basically everyone would call her `bossy`. In real life, I`m completely not like that. I`m nice, I m...

It`s a blanket statement to say, `That guy`s really sharp and amicable and nice,` because there`s a little bit of a--hole in every nice guy, and there`s a little bit of genius in every moron.

[On movie critics] "There are a few who are not nice and they say things that are harsh...but they always help me to become a better actor."
Sarah Polley
The two times I performed at the White House, for the Kennedy Center Honors, I was made fun of. The first time, in 2001, I wore a nice Gucci suit and tie, which cost more than my rent. And when I met President Bush, he said, `Thanks for dressing up.` Ever...
