I am America's child, a spastic slogging on demented
limbs drooling I'll trade my PhD for a telephone voice.
                -- Burt Lanier Safford III, "An Obscured Radiance"

I am an optimist.  It does not seem too much use being anything else.
                -- Winston Churchill

I am changing my name to Chrysler
I am going down to Washington, D.C.
I will tell some power broker
        What they did for Iacocca
Will be perfectly acceptable to me!

I am changing my name to Chrysler,
I am heading for that great receiving line.
When they hand a million grand out,
        I'll be standing with my hand out,
Yessir, I'll get mine!

I am convinced that the truest act of courage is to sacrifice ourselves
for others in a totally nonviolent struggle for justice.  To be a man
is to suffer for others.

quarters of it is gibberish.  However, I must crush down these thoughts

I am getting into abstract painting.  Real abstract -- no brush, no canvas,
I just think about it.  I just went to an art museum where all of the art
was done by children.  All the paintings were hung on refrigerators.
                -- Steven Wright

I am, in point of fact, a particularly haughty and exclusive person, of
pre-Adamite ancestral descent.  You will understand this when I tell you
that I can trace my ancestry back to a protoplasmal primordial atomic
globule.  Consequently, my family pride is something inconceivable.  I
can't help it.  I was born sneering.
                -- Pooh-Bah, "The Mikado"

I am just a nice, clean-cut Mongolian boy.
                -- Yul Brynner, 1956

I am looking for a honest man.
                -- Diogenes the Cynic
