Favorite Matthews Quotes

1. "The Dave Matthews Band's "Crash into Me" played over the montage, not that the lyrics had anything to do with the images the song was played over but it was "haunting", it was "moody", it was "summing things up", it gave the footage an "emotional resonance" that I guess we were incapable of capturing ourselves. At first my feelings were basically so what? But then I suggested other music: "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails, but I was told that the rights were sky-high and that the song was "too ominous" for this sequence; Nada Surf's "Popular" had "too many minor chords", it didn't fit the "mood of the piece," it was – again – "too ominous." When I told them I seriously did not think things could get any more fucking ominous than they already were, I was told, "Things get very much more ominous, Victor," and then I was left alone."
Author: Bret Easton Ellis
2. "I like Daughtry, I like Nickelback, I like Dave Matthews. I like Beyonce - she's a really good entertainer."
Author: Grace Slick
3. "Logan Matthews," I put my hand out to shake hers.She looked down at it, shook her head, laughed once, and then looked back up at me."Definitely no.""What? Why? Give me one good reason," I spat out. I didn't know why it was getting to me, her not wanting me. But I was pissed off and I felt like I needed to win that argument, or whatever the fuck it was that was going on there."Because.""That's not a reason.""Because I have a boyfriend.""No you don't." I shook my head and crossed my arms over my chest."Because you're an asshole.""Valid, but not accepted. Next?"
Author: Jay McLean
4. "Apparently the police were hot on the trail of the Tamiami Butcher. There were no specifics available, but Captain Matthews got a lovely sound bite. He made it seem like he would personally make the arrest as soon as he finished his coffee."
Author: Jeff Lindsay
5. "You could have been Bethany Matthews, Delia Hopkins, Cleopatra - it wouldn't matter. And if you'd grown up with a thousand lemon trees in the middle of the desert, with a cactus instead of a Christmas tree and a pet armadillo, well then, I would have gone to law school at Arizona State, I guess. I would have defended illegal aliens crossing the border. But we still would have wound up together, Dee. No matter what kind of life I had, you'd be at the end of it."
Author: Jodi Picoult
6. "I remember you, Matthews. Always."
Author: Kahlen Aymes
7. "That Damon Matthews," Linda spat. "You know, take one letter out of his name and it spells ‘ damn' as in ‘damn, that kid's a worthless sonovabitch'."
Author: Kristen Ashley
8. "It is tough to say what has influenced me the most because I know that Mozart makes me think better, but you cannot beat Dave Matthews for feeling good!"
Author: Mackenzie Astin
9. "The Bedlam that greeted James Tilly Matthews, then, was not so much a baroque spectacle of depravity as an exhausted and run-down public institution, its building falling apart and its professional image tarnished."
Author: Mike Jay
10. "It was Matthews, of course, for whom the verdict was the greatest disaster. Not only had he failed to escape from Bedlam, but the anomalies of the case made it highly unlikely that he would have the chance to appeal again. His family and friends had assembled an impeccable case, most of which had been ignored."
Author: Mike Jay
11. "But, mad or sane, Matthews was a man of no ordinary persistence. He was not prepared to renounce the peace plan, any more than he would be prepared to renounce his madness a few years later. A month later he was back in France, this time for an extended stay.The optimistic dawn of his revolutionary adventures was coming to an end, and his dark night of the soul was about to begin."
Author: Mike Jay
12. "We are now edging across the boundary - always a porous one - between self-justification and fantasy. Matthews' story is by no means a complete fantasy: we can recognise every event. But the frame of reference is somehow shrinking, and momentous world events being rewritten around the actions of a minor player."
Author: Mike Jay
13. "Haslam leaves us in no doubt what we are supposed to make of Matthews' mental world: this is gibberish and nothing more."
Author: Mike Jay
14. "The Air Loom, if Matthews revealed its existence under questioning, would now be recognised immediately as a classic paranoid delusion. But in 1797 it was something that had never been encountered before, and would emerge as the baffling leitmotif of a case that was unprecedented in almost every imaginable way."
Author: Mike Jay
15. "James Tilly Matthews was not a prophet. He was a gifted, perhaps fragile individual who suffered intensely, and for little if any reward."
Author: Mike Jay
16. "At Bow Street Magistrates' Court the essential facts were established. The man's name was James Tilly Matthews. He was a pauper of the south London parish of Camberwell. He had a wife and a young family. He appeared to be of unsound mind."
Author: Mike Jay
17. "As a pauper, the obvious destination for James Tilly Matthews was the Bethlem Hospital, already long known in popular slang as Bedlam. The principal public asylum in London, it had accepted dangerous and insane paupers as 'objects of charity' for centuries, and was proud of the claim that it had never turned anyone away."
Author: Mike Jay
18. "Matthews' shout of treason in the House was no random outburst of lunacy, but the last act in an astonishing adventure: one that might indeed have changed the history of Europe. But by this point there was no-one left to confirm the truth of the story. Most of the witnesses were dead, and those who were alive were not interested in talking."
Author: Mike Jay
19. "At the moment I really love listening to the Dave Matthews Band."
Author: Nancy McKeon
20. "I think he fucked me stupid"- McKenzie Matthews- Being Beckett's"
Author: P.S. Berryman
21. "I think Chris Matthews is a very bright guy. I'd listen to him even if he didn't shout at people."
Author: Peter Jennings
22. "Excuse me, Ms. Matthews; you are going to be late for class if you don't get going. Can you read the map, or are you already lost?" the stern voice of the secretary pulled me out of my stupor. "Um, no, I can read," I said, sheepishly, still unable to take my eyes off the mysterious boy staring back."Of course, you can read," she said sharply, snapping my entranced head back to reality. "Now, get to class."
Author: Rachel Higginson
23. "Dave Matthews is mixing violin solos with saxophone solos and it's bad for the baby"
Author: Rob Sheffield
24. "The name's Old Testament derivation did not surprise him. Campbell's first name was Exra, and there was an Absalom and a Solomon in the camp. But no Lukes or Matthews, which Buchanan had once noted, telling Pemberton that from his research the highlanders tended to live more by the Old Testament than the New."
Author: Ron Rash
25. "Did you make a picnic, Jordan Matthews?' For the first time EVER, I see a blush in his cheeks. 'I might have' he mumbles and sets off walking."
Author: Samantha Towle
26. "I go to St. Matthews in Pacific Palisades, an Episcopal Church."
Author: Stephen Collins
27. "The only thing growing faster than the federal government's deficit is Chris Matthews' man-crush on Barack Obama."
Author: Tim Pawlenty
28. "When I look at him, I don't see the cowardly young man who sold me out to Jeanine Matthews, and i don't hear the excuses he gave afterward. When I look at him, I see the boy who held my hand in the hospital when our mother broke her wrist and told me it would be all right. I see the brother who told me to make my own choices, the night before the Choosing Ceremony. I think of all the remarkable things he is--smart and enthusiastic and observant, quiet and earnest and kind."
Author: Veronica Roth
29. "Be realized when, in 1937, I introduced him in New York City, to Colonel Boris Bykov. At St. Matthews Court, Collins lived alone. He was separated from his wife (he has since married Susan B. Anthony III). He had a son about ten years old whom I met once when he was visiting his father (on some holiday"

Today's Quote

We are our own memory-keepers and we have failed ourselves. It is like that game we played in school as children. Sitting in a circle, one student whispers a phrase into another student's ear and the phrase is passed around until the last student in the circle repeats what she hears, only to find out it is nothing like what it is supposed to be.This is our life now."
