All these people talk so eloquently about getting back to good old-fashioned values. Well, as an old poop I can remember back to when we had those old-fashioned values, and I say let's get back to the good old-fashioned First Amendment of the good old-fashioned Constitution of the United States - and to hell with the censors! Give me knowledge or give me death!

Charles Dickens

Bernardo Bertolucci

Chastity is the most unpopular of the Christian virtues. There is no getting away from it; the old Christian rule is, "Either marriage, with completely faithfulness to your partner, or else total abstinence."

C. S. Lewis

I came up the old-fashioned way - tea boy, cutter, focus-puller, cinematographer - but I wasn't myself old-fashioned.

Nicolas Roeg

Old-fashioned anti-immigrant prejudice always brings out some old-fashioned racists.

Molly Ivins

It's such an old-fashioned attitude to make people feel like they're not good enough for your clothes. That's so negative and so old-fashioned and wrong.

Victoria Beckham

This is going to be an old fashioned Baptist camp meeting with old fashioned singing, preaching and testifying.

Brandon Marshall

If something becomes old-fashioned, it was no good to start with. Think about it. Michelangelo is not old-fashioned.

Tim Tharp

Our moral virtues benefit mainly other people; intellectual virtues, on the other hand, benefit primarily ourselves; therefore the former make us universally popular, the latter unpopular.

Arthur Schopenhauer
