Let every fart count as a peal of thunder for liberty. Let every fart remind the nation of how much it has let pass out of its control. It is a small gesture, but one that can be very effective - especially in a large crowd. So fart, and if you must, fart often. But always fart without apology. Fart for freedom, fart for liberty - and fart proudly.

Benjamin Franklin

Home is where the heart is, home is where the fart is. Come let us fart in the home. There is no art in a fart. Still a fart may not be artless. Let us fart and artless fart in the home.

Ernest Hemingway

I'd rather eat a cow-pat on a bun than a bloody McDonalds.

Alex Kapranos

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty—and fart proudly.

Benjamin Franklin

I went through the fields, and sat for an hour afraid to pass a cow. The cow looked at me, and I looked at the cow, and whenever I stirred the cow gave over eating.

Dorothy Wordsworth

Actions defined a man; words were a fart in the wind

Mario Puzo

I feel like a steaming cow-pat - or a car that's clocked up 400,000 miles in one journey.

Ian Holloway

It is so easy to take the violet flame and to use it that I am certain that once you begin you will recognize that the violet flame and the angels of the violet flame are the servants of the sons and daughters of God and the children of the Light, that the violet flame joyously serves you and acts to cleanse your entire being so that, as Jesus said, your whole body can be full of light.

Elizabeth Clare Prophet

Any man can fart in a closed room and say that he commands the wind

Scott Lynch

I always thought if you really want to be a good actor, you've got to be able to fart in public. That, to me, is the most important. If you are so inhibited that you can't fart, I don't mean around your friends, I mean just a fart, out loud somewhere. I don't mean the 'silent creeper', everybody does that. I mean fart out loud! Just that you can do it and not be afraid of it. Humility is very important.

Timothy Carey

writing is a labor of love and also an act of defiance, a way to light a candle in a gale wind.

Alice Childress

Hoist up sail while gale doth last, Tide and wind stay no man's pleasure.

Robert Southwell

I can't help comparing what I have with Gale to what I'm pretending to have with Peeta. How I never question Gale's motives while I do nothing but doubt the latter's. It's not a fair comparison really. Gale and I were thrown together by a mutual need to survive. Peeta and I know the other's survival means our own death. How do you sidestep that?
