Subject: требуются "крылатые выражения" media.
Римляне, сограждане, форумчане мои дорогие!

Срочно требуется ваша эрудиция. Нужны ваши любимые пословицы и поговорки, "крылатые" и сленговые выражения, цитаты и пр. в общем рассмотрим все что угодно, лишь бы было не длинее 2 предложений. Одно предложение - это идеальный вариант.

Самые интересные будут служить заставками на англоязычном радио Manhattan

Think globally, act locally.

At least in three words I can sum up all my life: it goes on.

All the things I want to do in this life is either immoral, or illegal, or fattening.

А вот два ослепительных высказывания "Американского Идиота"

There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee...that says, fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me...you can't get fooled again.
