Money is only useful when you get rid of it. It is like the odd card in "Old Maid"; the player who is finally left with it has lost. (Evelyn Waugh)
I started out mopping floors, waiting tables, and tending bar at my dad's tavern. I put myself through school working odd jobs and night shifts. I poured my heart and soul into a small business. And when I saw how out-of-touch Washington had become with the core values of this great nation, I put my name forward and ran for office. View quote
John Boehner
Love is an odd thing. As odd a thing as there is. View quote
Robert Jordan
I should describe mine own nature as tripartite, my interests consisting of three parallel and dissociated groups-(a) Love of the strange and fantastic. (b) Love of the abstract truth and of scientific logick. (c) Love of the ancient and the permanent. Sundry combinations of these three strains will probably account for all my odd tastes and eccentricities. View quote
H. P. Lovecraft
Here's why I think there's something a little odd with George [Bush]. Because a lot of the times when he speaks, his words don't match his face. Something is askew. You can't talk about the war with a smile on your face. He does it constantly. If you're the President, you should go "We're going to talk about the war, I must have a frowny face." The only time you can smile when you're talking about the war in Iraq is when you go, "Well, two Iraqis walk into a bar, hahaha." View quote
Lewis Black
Odd, isn't it, that a thief and a vagabond should repent, when so many who are rich and secure remain hard and frivolous, and without fruit for God or man? View quote
G. K. Chesterton
It's odd to look out there and see a bunch of Mini-Mes,” says Williams. "You're wondering what possessed them to do such a thing... It sort of does a reverse psychology on you. You'd think you'd be like `Hey, all these people want to look like me. I feel pretty cool.' But actually it makes you feel more self aware and I'm not really fond of that. View quote
Hayley Williams
I think with all the odd jobs I ever had, there was some kind of enlightenment but, yes, a lot of pain and suffering that I don't want to re-live. View quote
David Boreanaz
So odd to think of the Devil as a fumbler! View quote
John le Carré
Tis true, my form is something odd but blaming me, is blaming God, Could I create myself anew I would not fail in pleasing you. View quote
Joseph Merrick
The very odd thing about sagas ... is that they very rarely mention dry mouths and full bladders. (David Gemmell)
It is odd enough to see how the entrance of a person of the opposite sex into an assemblage of either men or women calms down the little discordances and the disturbance of mood. View quote
Elizabeth Gaskell
Odd to think that the piece of you I know best is already dead. The cells on the surface of your skin are thin and flat without the blood vessels or nerve endings. Dead cells, thickest on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. View quote
Jeanette Winterson
Someone's killed 100,000 people. We're almost going, "Well done! You killed 100,000 people? You must get up very early in the morning! I can't even get down the gym. Your diary must look odd: 'Get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death – lunch – death, death, death – afternoon tea – death, death, death – quick shower ...' " View quote
Eddie Izzard
This play John Drinkwater's Abraham Lincoln holds the season's record, thus far, with a run of four evening performances and one matinee. By an odd coincidence, it ran just five performances too many. View quote
Dorothy Parker
It's odd how violence and humor so often go together, isn't it? View quote
Dan Simmons

How odd I can have all this inside me and to you it's just words. View quote
David Foster Wallace
There can be no assumption that today's majority is "right" and the Amish and others like them are "wrong." A way of life that is odd or even erratic but interferes with no rights or interests of others is not to be condemned because it is different. View quote
Warren E. Burger
At odd and unpredictable times, we cling in fright to the past. (Isaac Asimov)
The sun was shining on the sea, Shining with all his might He did his very best to make The billows smooth and bright - And this was very odd, because it was The middle of the night. View quote
Lewis Carroll
Someday when peace has returned to this odd world I want to come to London again and stand on a certain balcony on a moonlit night and look down upon the peaceful silver curve of the Thames with its dark bridges. View quote
Ernie Pyle
It is odd how a man believes he can think better in a special place. I have such a place, have always had it, but I know it isn't thinking I do there, but feeling and experiencing and remembering. It's a safety place - everyone must have one, although I have never heard of a man tell of it. View quote
John Steinbeck
We absolutely must leave room for doubt or there is no progress and no learning. There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt. People search for certainty. But there is no certainty. People are terrified - how can you live and not know? It is not odd at all. You only think you know, as a matter of fact. And most of your actions are based on incomplete knowledge and you really don't know what it is all about, or what the purpose of the world is, or know a great deal of other things. It is possible to live and not know. View quote
Richard Feynman
