The enemy fought with savage fury, and met death with all its horrors, without shrinking or complaining: not one asked to be spared, but fought as long as they could stand or sit.
Davy Crockett

Original thought is like original sin: both happened before you were born to people you could not have possibly met.
Fran Lebowitz

I never met anyone who didn't have a very smart child. What happens to these children, you wonder, when they reach adulthood?
Fran Lebowitz

I have somewhere met with the epitaph on a charitable man which has pleased me very much. I cannot recollect the words, but here is the sense of it: "What I spent I lost; what I possessed is left to others; what I gave away remains with me."
Joseph Addison

Why one man rather than another? It was odd. You find yourself involved with a fellow for life just because he was the one that you met when you were nineteen.
Simone de Beauvoir

I never met anybody who said when they were a kid, I wanna grow up and be a critic.
Richard Pryor

Many a man's reputation would not know his character if they met on the street.
Elbert Hubbard

I don't know if we will ever try again because those sort of things are very hard to organise but yes, I've known Doon for years and John as well but I hadn't met Will before, and he turned out to be a good laugh.
Jo Brand

I believe that we must reach our brother, never toning down our fundamental oppositions, but meeting him when he asks to be met, with a reason for the faith that is in us, as well as with a loving sympathy for them as brothers.
Dorothy Day

Yeah, it's tough being smart and sexy, too. I have to say, I'm really not that attractive. Until I met my husband, I could not get a date. I promise you it's true. My husband Jeff Richmond saw a diamond in the rough and took me in.
Tina Fey

Yes; quaint and curious war is! You shoot a fellow down you'd treat if met where any bar is, or help to half-a-crown.
Thomas Hardy

I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.
Galileo Galilei

A claim for equality of material position can be met only by a government with totalitarian powers.
Friedrich August von Hayek

I have never met one person who likes Grand Funk.
Ritchie Blackmore

George Bush has met more foreign heads of state than I have. But a substantial number of them were dead.
Jesse Jackson

Some children I have met are very beautiful. Some children are imbeciles, vulgar, terrible.
Jeanne Moreau

You watch some teams these days and you wonder if they just met on the playground and decided to choose up sides.
Dennis Rodman

The world is full of people who have never, since childhood, met an open doorway with an open mind.
E. B. White

I'm 36 and if I met a woman of my own age and married her, I'd also be marrying her former life, her past. It might be OK for some people - I don't want to judge it or anything - but it's not for me. It would destroy my creativity.
Henry Rollins

I don't mind The Boss. I think he's an honest guy. I have some of his records, not all of them. I've met a couple of the E-Street guys, and they seem really cool.
Henry Rollins
