A Quote by A. N. Wilson

I was once naïve enough to ask the late Duke of Devonshire why he liked the town of Eastbourne. He replied with a self-deprecating shrug that one of the things he liked was that he owned it.

I never liked Duke. I don't know why. Just never did. Guess they were always a heavy favorite and I liked to go with the underdog.

Rasheed Wallace

Well, I've liked Star Wars since the late '70s. I liked it a lot.

Cass Sunstein

When I was a child I liked watching shows about bounty hunters and Canadian Mounties. I liked the 'Lone Ranger,' I liked shows where the guy saved the girl from the villain. I just liked those kinds of things and I wanted to be a guy like that, you know, that would save the damsel in distress.

Duane Chapman

I liked very much when we lived in Hampstead. We would go for walks on the Heath. I liked it better than living in the centre of town.

Daniel Barenboim

I liked Augustus Waters. I really, really really liked him. I liked the way his story ended with someone else. I liked his voice. I liked that he took existentially-fraught free throws.

John Green

If you would ask my mom what books I liked growing up, I liked Dr. Seuss.

will.i.am

I liked the education. I liked people learning things all around me and I liked going to people's classes.

Grace Paley

I liked Bugs Bunny. He was pretty good. He's annoying as a duck and he's anti-proletarian. Daffy Duck I couldn't see what was going on with him. He seemed like he was angry about something. My favorite one though is Pinocchio. I liked that kid. He was made of wood. I liked that for a start. I also liked how he'd tell a lie and his nose would grow. I liked the morality of that.

Russell Brand

I hate to say this, but at the time, (late 70's) it was like the smart people liked punk and the dumb people liked Journey.

Howie Klein

I always liked dressing up. I think, because I always liked performing, I always liked costumes and things like that.

Paul F. Tompkins

I liked just being with you. I liked the way you breathed when you were asleep. I liked when you took the champagne glass from my hand. I liked how your fingers were always too long for your gloves.
