Andy Rooney
Most of us believe everyone has a right to his own opinion - as long as it agrees with ours.
Andy Rooney
Art is a by-product of an honest and successful attempt to do something well.

I like ice hockey, but it's a frustrating game to watch. It's hard to keep your eyes on both the puck and the players and too much time passes between scoring in hockey. There are usually more fights than there are points.
Andy Rooney
I've learned... That love, not time, heals all wounds.
Andy Rooney
When those waiters ask me if I want some fresh ground pepper, I ask if they have any aged pepper.
