"It is hard to soar like an eagle when one works with turkeys." Mr Snow from Patrick Tilley's Amtrak Wars
As good as that is I really like this variation... 
"Eagles may soar far and wide, but turkeys don't get sucked into jet engines."

People sometimes ask me if I think Oasis are as good as The Beatles. I don't even think Oasis are as good as The Rutles.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my grandfather did–in his sleep. Not yelling and screaming like the passengers in his car.

The suppression of the people of a society begins in my mind with the censorship of the written or spoken word. It was so in Nazi Germany. It is so in many places today where those in power are afraid of the consequences of an informed and educated people.

“The Ultimate Rule ought to be: 'If it sounds GOOD to you, it's bitchin'; if it sounds BAD to YOU, it's shitty. The more your musical experience, the easier it is to define for yourself what you like and what you don't like. American radio listeners, raised on a diet of _____ (fill in the blank), have experienced a musical universe so small they cannot begin to know what they like.”
(F.V. Zappa)
