More quotes by Terry Jones
We will definitely not burn the Koran, no. Not today, not ever.
Terry Jones
We are, of course, now against any other group burning Qurans. We would right now ask no one to burn Qurans. We are absolutely strong on that. It is not the time to do it.
Terry Jones
Ludicrous concepts…like the whole idea of a 'war on terrorism'. You can wage war against another country, or on a national group within your own country, but you can't wage war on an abstract noun. How do you know when you've won? When you've got it removed from the Oxford English Dictionary?
Terry Jones
Short or long to Goblin City? The straight way's short But the long way's pretty.
Terry Jones
What really alarms me about President Bush's 'War on Terrorism' is the grammar. How do you wage war on an abstract noun? How is 'Terrorism' going to surrender? It's well known, in philological circles, that it's very hard for abstract nouns to surrender.
Terry Jones
Sarah: That's not fair! Jareth: You say that so often, I wonder what your basis for comparison is?
Terry Jones
Some people are passionate about aisles, others about window seats.
Terry Jones
Wild Thing made their hearts sing. But he couldn't top everything.
