You know, it's one thing about intellectuals, they prove that you can be absolutely brilliant and have no idea what's going on.
Woody Allen

My education was dismal. I went to a series of schools for mentally disturbed teachers.
Woody Allen

We stand at a crossroads. One path leads to despair, the other to destruction. Let's hope we make the right choice.
Woody Allen

He adored New York City. He idolized it all out of proportion... no, make that: he - he romanticized it all out of proportion. Yes. To him, no matter what the season was, this was still a town that existed in black and white and pulsated to the great tunes of George Gershwin.

Does art imitate life, or does life imitate TV?

I was thrown out of NYU for cheating-with the deans wife
Woody Allen
Image
There's nothing good about getting older-absolutely nothing-because the amount of wisdom and experience you gain is negligible compared to what you lose. You do gain a couple of things-you gain a little bittersweet and sour wisdom from your heartbreaks and failures and things-but what you lose is so catastrophic in every way.

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work I want to achieve immortality through not dying. I don't want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen I want to live on in my apartment.

You use sex to express every emotion except love.
