Everybody has one...I like to laugh at them:

My favorite so far:
“It doesn't matter what he does—he will never amount to anything.”-Albert Einstein’s teacher to his father, 1895

(good time waster if you're at work)
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I liked this one:

    The worst opinions in history, ever are:

    Runner up, Larry Summers to Winklevoss Bros. about their internet networking project wouldn't be a zillionaire business...

    Winner: The guy from Decca Records who said that guitars bands are out of fashion... after The Beatles auditioned...
    ... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...

    "Get rid of the pointed ears guy."
    —NBC executive on the Mr. Spock character in the new series "Star Trek," 1966

    "I was at Paramount all day yesterday, and they want me to direct this pile of trash."
    —Director Francis Ford Coppola on "The Godfather"

    That's kind of misleading, because it makes you think he's calling the movie a pile of trash, but he's referring to the book. I agree, the book IS a pile of trash. He turned it into a great movie though. They're sort of twisting that one around.

    I can’t remember who it was specifically, but in the early 1960’s, this guy said he was interested in booking the Who but only if they got rid of the gawky guitar player.

    This one, I don't know whether to laugh or cry:

    "Your house [will rest] on a giant turntable, like a doll-house on a lazy Susan. Of course, it takes a bit of trouble — you have to shift gears in order to start and stop the house gently… You claim your wife is a very poor house driver."
