Who Said That? Question: If you could live forever, would you and why? "Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world,
I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that but not with all those flies and death and stuff." -- "Researchers have discovered that chocolate produces some of the same reactions in the brain as marijuana. The researchers also discovered other similarities between the two, but can't remember what they are." -- "I haven't committed a crime. What I did was fail to comply with the law" -- "Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life." -- "I've never had major knee surgery on any other part of my body." -- "Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country." -- "They're multipurpose. Not only do they put the clips on, but they take them off." -- "We're going to turn this team around 360 degrees." -- "I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president." -- "China is a big country, inhabited by many Chinese." -- "That lowdown scoundrel deserves to be kicked to death by a jackass, and I'm just the one to do it." -- "When I have been asked during these last weeks who caused the riots and the killing in L.A., my answer has been direct and simple: Who is to blame for the riots? The rioters are to blame. Who is to blame for the killings? The killers are to blame." -- "I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves." -- "Half this game is ninety percent mental." -- "It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it." -- "Without censorship, things can get terribly confused in the public mind." -- "What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being
very wasteful. How true that is." -- "I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix." --
Answer: "I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever." --
