Winston: Yes, but tomorrow I will be sober, and you, madam, will still be ugly.

This isn't how he delivered it, as far as I know, and even if he did it doesn't matter because it sounds better the way I think it is:

Churchill: Yes, but you're ugly, and tomorrow I'll be sober.

It's just slightly more subtle that way, it makes it much funnier.

nice quote. here's my favorite one:

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

Agreed, the first one is funnier, and probably my favourite quote.

Some good Brendan Behan quotes:

If it was raining soup, the Irish would go out with forks.

The big difference between sex for money and sex for free is that sex for money usually costs a lot less.

When I came back to Dublin I was courtmartialed in my absence and sentenced to death in my absence, so I said they could shoot me in my absence.

I only take a drink on two occasions - when I'm thirsty and when I'm not.

I've never been in a situation so bad that a policeman couldn't make it worse.

"progress, far from consisting of change depends on retentiveness - those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it"

that and everything written by oscar wilde - "democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people"

I don;t know if it's a real quote, but there's a great line in one of the old films about Wilde. In it, Alfred Douglas's (Wilde's gay lover) father presents Wilde with a cabbage at a public event as some sort of insulting gift.

"Thank you", says Wilde; "whenever I smell it I shall think of you."

A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.

In heaven, all the interesting people are missing.

Walter Sobchak: Nihilists! [Censored] me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.
