A Muslim fanatic and a Christian fanatic, a Jewish fanatic, a secular fanatic, an atheist fanatic, a communist fanatic - all of them are the same. The thinking that, 'If you don't think like me, that if you are not with me, then you are against me;' this is something to condemn.

Marjane Satrapi

An egotist always resents meeting another egotist as if he alone had the right to be one.

Jules Renard

Evil is international and the fanatic is international and universal. There is no difference between a Muslim fanatic, a Christian fanatic, even a secular fanatic.

Marjane Satrapi

I just love how everyone with that Motown sound seemed to come from a two-block radius from the actual original location. The original location was a house, and then when they outgrew it, they bought the house next door and the house next door and the house next door until they had seven houses on the same lot.

BJ the Chicago Kid

I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.

Dolly Parton

I may look like the girl next door, but you wouldn't want to live next door to me.

Elisabeth Shue

Everybody always says that I'm the girl next door, which makes me think that y'all must have a lot of weird next-door neighbours.

Kelly Clarkson

If the egotist is weak, his egotism is worthless. If the egotist is strong, acute, full of distinctive character, his egotism is precious, and remains a possession of the race.

Alexander Smith

I've had my share of villains and played some fairly nasty characters. But I've been acting for so long. I started out as the girl next door. Now I'm the grandmother next door.

Jacki Weaver

If you want to see the girl next door, go next door.

Joan Crawford

I called the book 'The Senator Next Door,' not 'The President Next Door.'

Amy Klobuchar

I never go outside unless I look like Joan Crawford the movie star. If you want to see the girl next door, go next door.

Joan Crawford

And then after a while he got me a job at the video store next door. I used to lock up the store and go next door and hang out all the time and watch movies and stuff.

Jason Mewes

Next to the joy of the egotist is the joy of the detractor.

Agnes Repplier

Artists are mostly shits of the worst order. You wouldn't want one living next door to you. Think about it: Vincent Van Gogh living next door, coming over to borrow your ear and a cup of sugar every morning-Good God!

Stan Brakhage

I have to admit, I have a little sad addiction. I love watching on the E Channel that stupid show, The Girls Next Door. It's a very sad thing to say and I don't know how to explain it but I am addicted to Hugh Hefner's girlfriends and The Girls Next Door.
