I don't regret any of my transgressions, because I believe I paid for them a million times over.

I'm more muscular than I was in my younger days. My biceps and shoulders, especially.

The vegan diet is obviously lacking whatever essential nutrient it is that makes people likeable.

My hatred is a thousand times more powerful than all your good intentions.

I hope I won't become hated by geeks everywhere, but I don't really know comic books all that well.

Well, the disarmament conference is off to a flying start. There is nothing to prevent their succeeding now but human nature.
