“Johnny Jewel is how people were maybe two hundred years ago. Back then, when people got up in the morning, they knew what they had to do to get through the day - there were 100% less decisions. Nowadays, we have to decide what we want to buy in grocery stores, what job to take, what work to do. But not Johnny. For him, it's all right there - it's a freer state, and that's what my music is looking for... ... To understand Johnny, you should think of William Blake. He was the same kinda guy.”

So the whole world can look at our lives together and see how much I loved him.”

“Johnny Ramone's autobiography is a no holds barred, straight-forward book written in a no-nonsense style that is Johnny personified. His story is written in his own actual words, so the reader gets an insight into what made him the unique, charismatic and exciting individual that he was. It also gives a great view of The Ramones from Johnny's perspective.”
“Johnny Ringo to me was just the best antagonist that I've ever played, because I played him as a guy who has a death wish and had done everything that he wanted in life. As far as he was concerned, a gun fight was about as exciting as it was going to get.”
“Johnny Rivers...returned to L.A. to accept a lucrative offer from Elmer Valentine to open at his lavish new nightclub based upon the popular European discotheque concept.

“Johnny's Sh*temare by Stewart Stafford
Amber did sh*t in Johnny's bed,
She did it while he was sleeping,
Right by Johnny's head.
Stank awake on a mattress lumpy,
He saw what Amber had left him,
A hot, steaming grumpy.
Browned off, he leapt to his feet,
No dogs stained his manhood,
Or crapped on the sheet.
Now he's sued her for defamation,
And they call her Amber Turd,
For her reckless defecation.

“Johnny sort of popped into my head midway through the first draft, and he wouldn't leave. But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. In the first half of the movie, this guy is in the house not doing anything. I really needed an actor who's inventive and who will make enough idiosyncratic choices to make it entertaining to watch. And let's face it, Johnny Depp could make a nap interesting to watch.”

“Johnson defuses the bomb. Jackie Chan runs around trying to beat up all the guys AND save all the art, which is a 10/10 formula... Then Jackie Chan falls too, but Chris Tucker saves him. NOW THEY ARE TRUE BEST FRIENDS AND THEY GO ON A BEACH VACATION TOGETHER TO HONG KONG.
Rush Hour is a flawed thing, a creature of 1998, and it is not my jurisdiction to dismiss its faults. But complicated love is still love.”

“Johnson evidently did not want it said that they had murdered the people for their property, but the leaders could not stand to let so much be destroyed. The wagons and their loads, even the bloody clothes, were taken to Cedar City, stored in the Tithing Office, and later sold at auction.”

“Johnson had been the most powerful man in the world, yet the North Vietnamese and the Vietcong had resisted, overcome his power, broken his will.”
“Johnson is a radical skeptic, insisting, in the best Socratic tradition, that everything be put on the table for examination. By contrast, most skeptics opposed to him are selective skeptics, applying their skepticism to the things they dislike (notably religion) and refusing to apply their skepticism to the things they do like (notably Darwinism). On two occasions I’ve urged Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic Magazine, to put me on its editorial board as the resident skeptic of Darwinism. Though Shermer and I know each other and are quite friendly, he never got back to me about joining his editorial board.”
“Johnson is wise, Boswell foolish; Johnson warns and abstains, Boswell plunges; Johnson is rather a great man writing than a greatwriter, Boswell is a great writer and an ordinary man; and they are two of a kind, abysmal melancholics and compulsive socializers, afraid of solitude and afraid of death and dissolution, victims of themselves, meant for each other, needing each other, needing evidence and arguments (Boswell is a lawyer, Johnson magisterially dictates to him some of his briefs), making beautiful models of rational discourse out of the useful substance of all they know.”
“Johnson leaned down and added his lips to her hopeful little pile of human tissue and transformed her mouth into a moaning, begging megaphone for her vagina.”

“Johnson Publishing offered me an opportunity to build back iconic brands like Ebony and Jet magazines.”
“Johnston's books are beautifully written and among the funniest I have ever read.”
“JOIA
Llum, galzes del migdia
dels arbres que ara tanques,
alta que acaricies
les coloracions
del temps—La fosca cella
que el vent acotxa, cels
d'escata de moll.
Ànsia
que et fas boca i el goig
i el deler de ser l'aigua
i els aires, plata encara, desesperant-se.
Joia
dels ulls, foc que encens, verda
nit.
Plomada de llum fosca la presència
de besllum, sulla, al llindar. I els seus ulls
flamissats, crits d'ala astorada el cel
dels seus ulls ara, la brosta verd ànsia
dels cors.
Blanca mifa astorada és
ara el cel. Pels cingles les flames
dels arbres.
Ja els crits cecs de la muntanya
la nit que rep. Ja la vida, els seus ulls,
incerta, flàmules.”

“Joidenkin kanssa keskusteleminen vain on hankalaa – useimmiten nämä ihmiset ovat miehiä. Minulla on aiheesta ihan Teoriakin. Monet miehet sairastuvat vanhetessaan testosteroniautismiin, ja se ilmenee sosiaalisen älykkyyden ja kommunikaatiotaitojen katoamisena. Se myös vaikeuttaa ajatusten muotoilemista. Tämän Vaivan uhriksi joutunut Mies muuttuu vaiteliaaksi, on kuin hän olisi koko ajan omissa mietteissään. Häntä vetävät puoleensa lähinnä erilaiset Työkalut ja laitteet. Hän on kiinnostunut toisesta maailmansodasta ja kuuluisuuksien elämäkerroista, varsinkin poliitikkojen ja pahantekijöiden. Kyky lukea romaaneja katoaa häneltä lähes kokonaan, sillä testosteroniautismi vaikeuttaa henkilöhahmojen psykologian ymmärtämistä.”

“Joie de Conscience (Le Sonnet)
La conscience apporte de la joie,
elle apporte du soulagement.
C'est une autre sorte de joie,
sanctifiée par des accès de chagrin.
La conscience engendre le contenu,
au-delà de toute excitation matérielle.
Grâce à une modération consciencieuse,
nous surmontons l’obsession superficielle.
Les matériaux sont nécessaires à la subsistance,
au-delà de ce point, ils deviennent un poison.
Encombrant l’esprit de déchets toxiques,
il sépare l’humain de l’humain.
La conscience apporte la joie,
non contaminée par une fête égoïste.
Entourée de compromis rituels,
la conscience apporte la liberté civilisée.”

“Joie," he said with his lips hovering over mine.
