Quote by Laurie Anderson

“There was an old married couple and they had always hated each other. Never been able to stand the sight of each other really. And when they were in their nineties they finally got divorced and people said: Why did you wait so long? Why didn't you do this a whole lot earlier? And they said: Well, we wanted to wait until the children died.”

"I mean, come on." "They're for fighting, not fashion." "So are kilts, but you don't see me rocking the tartan." "And thank God for that. You're too bowlegged to pull that shit off."
