New Blog Traffic
I am really pleased that my blog traffic seems to be growing exponentially week on week. This is also translating into a small increase in advertising revenue - although I am still far from being able to retire on my blog income I probably earn significantly more than a farmer in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Last month I had over 3,500 hits.
I have attached my latest google stats.

My Peter Griffins Quotes page has shown particualar growth and probably accounts for the majority of the traffic increase. As to why this is I am unsure.
My goal for next month is 6,000 visitors.

Richard Pryor Quotes
A sold-out house my first night back. Do you have any idea what kinda pressure that is? I could have been at home in my warm bed, playing Nintendo.
Booty is just a ghetto expression, and I'm just a booty star.
Even when I was a little kid, I always said I would be in the movies one day, and damned if I didn't make it.
Everyone carries around his own monsters.
Friends take up time, and I didn't have time.
Hawaii is the best form of comfort for me. When I die, I want to be cremated, and I want half my ashes spread in the Pacific around the island, the rest on the property.
I ain't no movie star, man. I'm a booty star.
I became a performer because it was what I enjoyed doing.
I believe in divine forces and energies.
I believe in the institution of marriage, and I intend to keep trying till I get it right.
I believe the ability to think is blessed. If you can think about a situation, you can deal with it. The big struggle is to keep your head clear enough to think.
I can't just say the words, do a lot of one-liners. I love each person I play; I have to be that person. I have to do him true.
I don't see myself getting married again, but if I do, it will be forever.
I just don't want to die alone, that's all. That's not too much to ask for, is it It would be nice to have someone care about me, for who I am, not about my wallet.
I know that if I wasn't scared, something's wrong, because the thrill is what's scary.
I never met anybody who said when they were a kid, I wanna grow up and be a critic.
I realized this is what God has dealt me, and I should be thankful considering all that's happened to me in my life, but MS caused the movies to stop - stop dead - and I miss it.
I think about being married again, having a home and a wife. No one can ever be married too many times, and maybe if I keep trying I'll get it right one day.
I think about dying. I've come to realize we all die alone in one way or another.
I urge you to ask yourself just how honorable it is to preside over the abuse and suffering of animals.
I was a loner and never hung out with anyone. I never had any friends.
I was an only child.
I was brought up in a whorehouse in Peoria. My mother and father lived there and worked there.
I was kicked out of school because of my attitude. I was not assimilating. So I went to work, taking any jobs I could get.
I went to Zimbabwe. I know how white people feel in America now; relaxed! Cause when I heard the police car I knew they weren't coming after me!
I won't talk about what it was like in prison, except to say I'm glad I'm out and that I plan never to go back and to pay my taxes every day.
I'd like to make you laugh for about ten minutes though I'm gonna be on for an hour.
I'm for human lib, the liberation of all people, not just black people or female people or gay people.
I'm not for integration and I'm not against it.
If I thought about it, I could be bitter, but I don't feel like being bitter. Being bitter makes you immobile, and there's too much that I still want to do.
Imagine people calling you to find out if you're dead. I've led a real crazy life at times, and I've had many strange things happen to me, but that was one of the strangest.
It's been a struggle for me because I had a chance to be white and refused.
Marriage is really tough because you have to deal with feelings... and lawyers.
Movies are movies, and I don't think any of them are going to hurt the moral fiber of America and all that nonsense.
Someone called all the newspapers in New York and told them I'd died. I've been told by almost everyone it was an ex-wife - I've had a few so it's hard to pinpoint which one - but who knows for sure?
Sure, I have friends, plenty of friends, and they all come around wantin' to borrow money. I've always been generous with my friends and family, with money, but selfish with the important stuff like love.
The black groups that boycott certain films would do better to get the money together to make the films they want to see, or stay in church and leave us to our work.
The way I see it, the earth is going to be here after we're dead and gone. Even if it's a polluted planet, and they messed it up. Where do they go from here - to another planet so they can mess that up too?
There was a time in my life when I thought I had everything - millions of dollars, mansions, cars, nice clothes, beautiful women, and every other materialistic thing you can imagine. Now I struggle for peace.
There's a lot more hypocrisy than before. Racism has gone back underground.
There's a thin line between to laugh with and to laugh at.
What I am for is justice for everyone, just like it says in the Constitution.
When you ain't got no money, you gotta get an attitude.
Yes, I'm religious. God has shown me things, made certain ways clear to me.
You work your butt off and somebody says you can't have your record played because it offends them. Tyrants are made of such stuff.

Charlie Chaplin Quotes
A day without laughter is a day wasted.
A man's true character comes out when he's drunk.
A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.
Actors search for rejection. If they don't get it they reject themselves.
All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl.
All my pictures are built around the idea of getting in trouble and so giving me the chance to be desperately serious in my attempt to appear as a normal little gentleman.
Brunettes are troublemakers. They're worse than the Jews.
Despair is a narcotic. It lulls the mind into indifference.
Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people.
Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.
I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man.
I am for people. I can't help it.
I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose.
I don't believe that the public knows what it wants; this is the conclusion that I have drawn from my career.
I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the make-up made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked onto the stage he was fully born.
I have no further use for America. I wouldn't go back there if Jesus Christ was President.
I remain just one thing, and one thing only, and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.
I suppose that's one of the ironies of life doing the wrong thing at the right moment.
I thought I would dress in baggy pants, big shoes, a cane and a derby hat. everything a contradiction: the pants baggy, the coat tight, the hat small and the shoes large.
I went into the business for the money, and the art grew out of it. If people are disillusioned by that remark, I can't help it. It's the truth.
I'd sooner be called a successful crook than a destitute monarch.
In the end, everything is a gag.
Laughter is the tonic, the relief, the surcease for pain.
Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.
Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.
Man as an individual is a genius. But men in the mass form the headless monster, a great, brutish idiot that goes where prodded.
Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.
Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles.
Remember, you can always stoop and pick up nothing.
That is why, no matter how desperate the predicament is, I am always very much in earnest about clutching my cane, straightening my derby hat and fixing my tie, even though I have just landed on my head.
The glamour of it all! New York! America!
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.
This is a ruthless world and one must be ruthless to cope with it.
To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.
To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it!
We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery.
We might as well die as to go on living like this.
We think too much and feel too little.
What do you want a meaning for? Life is a desire, not a meaning.
Why should poetry have to make sense?
Words are cheap. The biggest thing you can say is 'elephant'.

Stewie Griffin Quotes
Hello, mother. I come bearing a gift. I'll give you a hint. It's in my diaper and it's not a toaster.
Stewie Griffin
Am I to spend the entire day wallowing around in my own feces? A little service here!
Stewie Griffin
What's this? Blueberries? Oh, oh my G...oh, that's better than sex!
Stewie Griffin
You know, I rather like this God fellow. Very theatrical, you know. Pestilence here, a plague there. Omnipotence... gotta get me some of that.
Stewie Griffin
Do these huggies make my ass look big?
Strewie Griffin
[Brian and Stewie are on a German tour bus]
German Tour Guide: You vill find more on Germany's contributions to ze arts in ze pamphlets ve have provided.
Brian Griffin: Yeah, about your pamphlet... uh, I'm not seeing anything about German history between 1939 and 1945. There's just a big gap.
Tour guide: Everyone vas on vacation. On your left is Munich's first city hall, erected in 15...
Brian Griffin: Wait, what are you talking about? Germany invaded Poland in 1939 and...
Tour Guide: We were invited. Punch vas served. Check vit Poland.
Brian Griffin: You can't just ignore those years. Thomas Mann fled to America because of Nazism's stranglehold on Germany.
Tour guide: Nope, nope. He left to manage a Dairy Queen.
Brian Griffin: A Dairy Queen? That's preposterous.
Tour guide: I vill hear no more insinuations about the German people. Nothing bad happened. Sie werden sich hinsetzen. Sie werden ruhig sein. Sie werden nicht beleidigen Deutschland. You will sit down. You will shut up. You will not insult Germany. [Throws his hand up in a Hitler salute.]
Brian Griffin: Uh, is that a beer hall?
Tour guide: [Snapping out of it] Oh yes, Munich is renowned for its historic beer halls.
Stewie Griffin [reading the Bible]: My my, what a thumping good read. Lions eating Christians, people nailing each other to two-by-fours. I'll say, you won't find that in Winnie the Pooh.
Chris Griffin: Please, don't say pooh.
Damn you, vile woman! You've impeded my work since the day I escaped from your wretched womb.
Stewie Griffin
There's always been a lot of tension between Lois and me. And it's not so much that I want to kill her, it's just, I want her not to be alive anymore.
Stewie Griffin
Victory is mine!
Stewie Griffin
When the world is mine, your death shall be quick and painless.
Stewie Griffin
Come, ice cream. Come to my mouth. How dare you disobey me!
Stewie Griffin
Forecast for tomorrow; a few sprinkles of genius with a chance of doom!

Stewie Griffin: Lois! Lois! Lois! Lois! Lois! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Momma! Momma! Momma! Ma! Ma! Ma! Ma! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mommy! Mommy! Momma! Momma! Momma!
Lois Griffin: WHAT!?
Stewie Griffin: Hi. [runs off giggling]
Damn you all.
Strewie Griffin
Brian Griffin: You're drunk.
Stewie Griffin: You're sexy.
Oh I feel so delightfully white trash. Mommy, I want a mullet.
Stewie Griffin
You. Fetch me my copy of the Wall Street Journal. You two, fight to the death.
Stewie Griffin
Hmm, time for dessert. Let's see - big chocolate cake for Stewie, [holds up a leaf to Chris] and something very tasty for big, fat you.
Stewie Griffin
Lois Griffin: What's going on down here?
Stewie Griffin: Oh, we're playing house.
Lois Griffin: That boy's all tied up.
Stewie Griffin: Roman Polanski's house.
Lois Griffin: Stewie why don't you play in the other room?
Stewie Griffin: Why don't you burn in hell?
Lois Griffin: Come on Stewie, don't be afraid. It's just water, it's not gonna bite.
Stewie Griffin: Shut up! I know it's not going to bite, stupid! What a stupid thing to say. You drown in it you moron! It doesn't have to bite you!
Stewie Griffin: [hitting on some co-eds] I must say, the most recent campus sporting event was quite spectacular.
Co-ed: Aw. Are you in a fraternity, little boy?
Stewie Griffin: Not yet, but I'm thinking of joining I Felta Thigh.
For the love of God, shake me! Shake me like a British nanny!
Stewie Griffin
Meg Griffin: Everybody! Guess what I am?
Stewie Griffin: Hm, the end result of a drunken back-seat grope-fest and a broken prophylactic?
Lois Griffin [trying to feed Stewie broccoli airplane style]: Sweetie, it's broccoli, it's good for you. Now open up for the airplane.
Stewie Griffin: Never! Damn the broccoli, damn you, and damn the Wright brothers!
Lois Griffin: My, aren't we fussy tonight. Okay. No broccoli.
Stewie Griffin: Very well then. L...
[Lois shoves the Broccoli into his mouth. Stewie then spits it out.]
Stewie Griffin: Who the hell do you think you are?
Lois Griffin: Honey, it's not gonna go away just because you don't like it.
Stewie Griffin: Well then, my goal becomes clear: The broccoli must die.
[watching cheerleaders changing in a locker room] It appears my wee-wee's been stricken with rigor-mortis.
Stewie Griffin
I love God. He's so deliciously evil.
Stewie Griffin
Peter Griffin [trying to potty-train Stewie]: Maybe you don't have to pee. I'll just give you some beer, it'll run right through you.
Stewie Griffin: Beautiful. And while we're at it we can light up a dubey and watch porn.
Peter Griffin: Rea... Really?
Meg Griffin: Can I be in the play, Mom?
Stewie Griffin: Oh yes, you can be the dumpy teenage girl who cries backstage because no one finds her attractive.
Chris Griffin: What did you get from your boyfriends?
Meg Griffin: Oh you know from my boyfriend, Prince William, I got this beautiful watch, and this diamond tiara, and a sceptre...[goes crazy and runs away crying]
Stewie: She needs to get laid BIG TIME!
Lois Griffin: I'm gonna go get some oranges Stewie. Here, hold the rest of these bags for mommy.
Stewie Griffin: Oh, what brilliant parenting Lois. Leave a tiny infant with a plastic bag. You know I might asphyxiate myself just to teach you a lesson. Here I go. Just like that boy from INXS…[Stewie tries to put bag over top of his head.] I'm going to do it! [Tries to put bag over left side of his head then climbs into it and tries pulling it over his head.] BLAST! Good Lord Lois, either I was a c-section, or you're Wonder Woman!
[In car with Brian, says to police officer] We met on the Internet. He lured me into the car with promises of candy and funny stories.
Stewie Griffin
By all means, turn me into a child star. Perhaps I can move to Californ-i-ay and wrangle me a three-way with the Olsen twins.
Stewie Griffin
Do the women there have exposed clitorati?
Stewie Griffin
Stewie Griffin [picking a booger]: Does this not disgust you?
Brian Griffin: Kid, you're talkin' to a guy who uses his tongue for toilet paper.
Lois Griffin [finding note in Chris's pocket]: Huh, what's this? You know Stewie, Mommy doesn't usually read things out of Chris's pocket. She's more respectful than that.
Stewie Griffin: Whatever helps you sleep at night, bitch.
Lois Griffin: Oh, I haven't been on a college campus in years. Everything seems so different.
Stewie Griffin: Really? Perhaps if you laid on your back with your ankles behind your ears that would ring a few bells.
Stewie Griffin
Am I to spend the entire day wallowing around in my own feces? A little service here!
Stewie Griffin
What's this? Blueberries? Oh, oh my G...oh, that's better than sex!

Stanley Smith: Ah, come on son, there are plenty of kids to play with in heaven. Your cousin Billy. That little girl from Poltergeist. She must be about 16 by now, you could totally tap that.

Stan Smith: You made all this in one day?
Francine Smith: That's right, I did. Through hard work and giving people incorrect change.
Francine Smith: Stan, I did some research on that kiosk at the mall. If you gave me $5,000 of your bonus, I could start a business selling my muffins. I think there's a real market for...

Francine Smith: Stan, it's great the CIA gave you that $20,000 bonus for "Most Evasive Testimony to Congress," but at this rate, it'll be gone in no time.
Stan Smith: Hey, if I don't buy all this crap, the terrorists win! And don't tell me it's not a competition, because it SO is.

Francine Smith: Stan, what the hell?
Stan Smith: Surprise! I got us a second wife. You know, to help with cooking and cleaning. Her name's impossible to pronounce, so I just call her "Thundercat."
Francine Smith: Oh, good, a Shwarma King. I'm starving. Pull over, Stan.
Stan Smith: Are you insane? We're not stopping for their food. Next, you'll want to use their bathrooms, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna use their sandpapery toilet scrolls on my proud American button.

Steve Smith: No.
Stanley Smith: And that's where babies come from.
Steve Smith: So you're saying I should never, ever have sex before marriage?
Stanley Smith: That's right. Or angels will kill you. Good night.
Steve Smith: Dad! There you are.

Roger the Alien: Oh, I've got claws. Look how fat you are. See? Kitty can scratch.

Steve Smith: No.
Stanley Smith: And that's where babies come from.
Steve Smith: So you're saying I should never, ever have sex before marriage?

Roger the Alien: Oh, I've got claws. Look how fat you are. See? Kitty can scratch.

Isaac Newton
A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding.
Errors are not in the art but in the artificers.
I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.
I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
If I have done the public any service, it is due to my patient thought.
If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.
It is the weight, not numbers of experiments that is to be regarded.
Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.
To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction.
To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science.
To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.
We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances.
We build too many walls and not enough bridges.
Errors are not in the art but in the artificers.
I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.

If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist.
Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.
It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it was 29 years.
It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value.
Most sets of values would give rise to universes that, although they might be very beautiful, would contain no one able to wonder at that beauty.
My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.
Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.
One cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem.
Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales.
The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.
There are grounds for cautious optimism that we may now be near the end ofthe search for the ultimate laws of nature.
To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit.
We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.
Stephen Fry Quotes
An original idea. That can't be too hard. The library must be full of them.
As someone who worked hard for a Labour victory in the 90s, do I regret it? Not really. It was bound to happen. And it'll happen with the next government, and the one after it. Because all governments serve us. They serve the filth.
But happiness is no respecter of persons.
But if one could go back in time, I'd love to have been directed by Howard Hawks, who's one of my great heroes. One of the greatest directors there ever was. He directed probably one of the greatest westerns of all time in Rio Bravo.
Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive.
Having a great intellect is no path to being happy.
Having been an actor and a writer for so long - 20 years or so - I felt that it would be daft to go to one's grave without having directed. It's a natural extension of writing and acting, and so I knew it would happen one day.
I am a lover of truth, a worshipper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance.
I don't need you to remind me of my age. I have a bladder to do that for me.
I don't watch television, I think it destroys the art of talking about oneself.
I get an urge, like a pregnant elephant, to go away and give birth to a book.
I have pushed the boat out as far as I should in terms of taking on too many things. I'm getting older and I just could not take it any more. I am now monitoring myself very closely and I'm just trying not to get into that sort of state again.
I like to think of myself at home in the armchair, writing, smoking and occasionally wandering down the shop.
I shouldn't be saying this - high treason, really - but I sometimes wonder if Americans aren't fooled by our accent into detecting brilliance that may not really be there.
I think my view is that whenever you project into the future you're never likely to be accurate in the details, or the paraphernalia and style.
I think the fact that I'm so well known to be gay makes it very difficult to have a convincing relationship with a woman on screen. It wouldn't be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman - I'll kiss a frog if you like.
I think we have all experienced passion that is not in any sense reasonable.
I'd probably want to teach at university, because children would drive me insane. I suspect it would be English literature, Shakespeare and so forth. I've always been deeply, deeply in love with that kind of thing.
I've always had great respect for Paddington because he is amusingly English and eccentric. He is a great British institution and my generation grew up with the books and then Michael Horden's animations.
It is a cliche that most cliches are true, but then like most cliches, that cliche is untrue.
It only takes a room of Americans for the English and Australians to realise how much we have in common.
It was extremely important to show that Wilde's sexuality was not just some intellectual idea. It was real, and it was about the human body. To just have mentioned it and not shown it would have been, I think, peculiar and wrong.
It's rather splendid to think of all those great men and women who appear to have presented symptoms that allow us to describe them as bipolar. Whether it's Hemingway, Van Gogh... Robert Schumann has been mentioned... Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath... some of them with rather grim ends.
Love in all eight tones and all five semitones of the word's full octave.
Many people would no more think of entering journalism than the sewage business - which at least does us all some good.
Moving from chair to chair, from coffee machine to coffee machine is the limit of my action in most films. But I enjoy being cast in them because I love watching them.
No, I love the idea that someone changes. As an actor it's always the thing that you look for. He is someone who starts off bright, cheerful and confident and then has everything taken away from him. It's a wonderful journey to take.
Oh, it takes a lot for me to walk out of a film.
Old Professors never die, they just lose their faculties.
Personally, I'd never seen a graphic novel. I knew they existed because friends of mine like Jonathan Ross collect them and some very literate and intelligent people really rate the graphic novel as a form.
Taste every fruit of every tree in the garden at least once. It is an insult to creation not to experience it fully. Temperance is wickedness.
That one can love another of the same gender, that is what the homophobe really cannot stand.
There is so much we can learn from TV. It's a window on the world.
They are just 100 per cent bear, whereas human beings feel we're not 100 per cent human, that we're always letting ourselves down. We're constantly striving towards something, to some fulfilment.
When you get just a complete sense of blackness or void ahead of you, that somehow the future looks an impossible place to be, and the direction you are going seems to have no purpose, there is this word despair which is a very awful thing to feel.
When you've seen a nude infant doing a backward somersault you know why clothing exists.
You can't reason yourself back into cheerfulness any more than you can reason yourself into an extra six inches in height.
You don't sit down and write a wish list about the person you are going to fall violently in love with. It just doesn't work like that.
