A Quote by Marilyn Manson

I don't think that my lyrics are over-laced with profanity, because I myself don't speak using a lot of profanity in normal conversation. But I think when you're making something aggressive and you need to get a point across, if you're angry, sometimes profanity is necessary. It's better to use a curse word than to hurt somebody else, I find.

I use profanity because I like profanity, but I'm not vulgar. Big difference. I love profanity because I really think profanity is cool.

Godfrey

I love profanity, but I think if it's used too much, it just sounds a little trashy. I think it's more effective when it's dropped intelligently. I like intelligent profanity.

Katie Aselton

I'm always fighting with profanity and Christian comedy. I'm telling you, it's always a fight. Because my father said to me, he said, 'Well, Kym, I feel like comics and people that use profanity, you have a lack of vocabulary, actually, a whole lot.'

Kym Whitley

When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can't run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn't fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag. As for the types of comments I make, sometimes I just, By God, get carried away with my own eloquence.

George S. Patton

I don't even use profanity when I'm angry. I think people expected I'd have written a nice romance or something.

Mary McGarry Morris

Marilyn Manson

I wanted to cut down on the profanity, because I think I'm funnier without sayin' a lot of cuss words.

Chris Tucker

I know, if I'm speaking to God in any kind of way, I keep myself from using profanity.

Tech N9ne

Profanity is the parlance of the fool. Why curse when there is such a magnificent language with which to discourse?

Theodore Roosevelt

I'm about being funny. If I can make a joke using profanity, I will. But for the most part, that can get awfully old and boring.

Howard Stern

I've tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I'm afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred.

Ernest Hemingway

Fans are people, and people sometimes get mad at air. I know I do. So I have people huff at me because I'm not doing what they want, but I also have people get mad because I use profanity, or because I exist in material space, or because I was at Disneyland when they thought I should be writing.
