Phil:  "I'm not a big fan of profanity. There are just too many commonly unused words in the dictionary.  To wit, psychobabble's co-dependency in denial augurs an extrasomatic mephitic paranoiac phenomenon in abeyance to eventuation or other superfluous loathsome malapropos denouements."

Nicolas Copernicus:  "At rest, however, in the middle of everything is the sun."

Nicolas Copernicus:  "Finally we shall place the Sun himself at the center of the Universe."

Ben Franklin:  "Hunger is the best pickle."

Charles Darwin:  At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace the savage races throughout the world.
