Give me something to assemble, I won’t look at the directions, I’ll try to figure it out by myself. It’s why I love Ikea furniture. Dave Grohl
As soon as I arrived in the Indies, in the first island which I found, I took some of the natives by force, in order that they might learn and might give me information of whatever there is in these parts.

I can’t remember ever cooking food to impress a woman. The idea’s quite cheesy and sort of makes my skin crawl.

That’s cat ownership for you. Bob Mortimer
Give me liberty or a bran muffin! Colin Mochrie

I don’t want to sound like a Hallmark card, but to be able to wake up each day with food and shelter, that alone is good.

My mom passed away at 41 from diabetes. And I’m 42, thank you. I didn’t want to do that to my son.

Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed. Walt Whitman
