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!

Kurt Vonnegut

You can't actually have a romance between friends. That sort of defeats the definition of the word "romance." The word you're looking for is "love." It's a love between friends, just as there's also love between lovers, or possible lovers, or even ex-lovers.

I am an old-fashioned man in an old-fashioned shop, in a street that is not the same as I remember it. I have fallen behind the time, and am too old to catch it again.

Charles Dickens

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.

David Bailey

Books seem a little old-fashioned, but hey, I can do old-fashioned if it's good.

Tim Tharp

Then I reckon we got ourselves a good old-fashioned standoff." ... Nobody moved, or said anything, for the next few moments. "Old-fashioned standoffs are mighty borin

Derek Landy

A commentary on the times is that the word 'honesty' is now preceded by 'old-fashioned.'

Larry Walters

I think believing in eternal love or growing old together, people might think is a bit old fashioned. I am bit old fashioned, and I truly believe that it can happen provided that you do find the correct person.

Sidharth Malhotra

Perhaps I'm old-fashioned but I don't think mothers want their 25-year-old daughters to marry 85-year-old men, except maybe for the money. Money, at least, makes some sense.

The car as we know it is on the way out. To a large extent, I deplore its passing, for as a basically old-fashioned machine, it enshrines a basically old-fashioned idea: freedom.
