You don't see people in prison treating each other the way people do on the outside, and the reason is that if you're rude to somebody in prison, you get killed. ~ Sonny Barger
Sonny quotes by Sonny Barger
One-and-done is the most damaging thing in college basketball. It brings money into the college game, because it kickstarts the bidding war. When you know a kid can't turn pro and is going to go to school for one year and then go pro, that's when you see everyone going to games and courting players. ~ Sonny Vaccaro
Sonny quotes by Sonny Vaccaro
There's the difference between hardcore motorcycle riders and people who own motorcycles. Some people ride'em and some people trailer'em. ~ Sonny Barger
Sonny quotes by Sonny Barger
I thought for sure you were about to ravish her. I've read a lot of books, and that was just like a scene that ends with the hero ravishing the maiden."
"I was closer to strangling her."
The little old lady chuckles in a knowing kind of way. "That's a different kind of book, sonny. ~ Emma Chase
Sonny quotes by Emma Chase

Sonny quotes by Sonny Terry

Sonny quotes by Sonny Burgess
We want a state wise in its contemplation - just in its actions - and moderate in the reach of government into our lives. ~ Sonny Perdue
Sonny quotes by Sonny Perdue
Denton struck Charley as the kind of man who never wasted energy on extra movement or idle chitchat. He was foursquare Sonny Boy Williamson and Sister Rosetta Tharpe, a Silvertone guitar, older than old school. ~ Natalie Baszile
Sonny quotes by Natalie Baszile
Jazz is the type of music that can absorb so many things and still be jazz. ~ Sonny Rollins
Sonny quotes by Sonny Rollins
No matter how revolutionary something is, if you keep doing it over and over and over then it does loses it's excitement and it's high dynamics and people get used to ... get used to it like anything else you know um and then it just becomes a normal deal and then it becomes not very interesting at all. ~ Sonny Bono
Sonny quotes by Sonny Bono
They used to say it was bad for Indians to drink, but it's bad for anybody. When they drink they lose their cool, a lot of us. Like when we played with Sonny Boy, I would never get paid, you know. He would drink up all the money. ~ Ike Turner
Sonny quotes by Ike Turner
Star"

Tony went to fight in Belfast
Rudi stayed at home to starve
I could make it all worthwhile
as a rock & roll star
Bevan tried to change the nation
Sonny wants to turn the world, well he can tell you that
he tried
I could make a transformation as a rock & roll star

[CHORUS (x2)]
So inviting - so enticing to play the part
I could play the wild mutation
as a rock & roll star
I could do with the money
I'm so wiped out with things as they are
I'd send my photograph to my honey - and I'd c'mon like
a regular superstar

I could fall asleep at night
as a rock & roll star
I could fall in love all right
as a rock & roll star ~ David Bowie
Sonny quotes by David Bowie
He turned and reached behind him for the chocolate bar, then he turned back again and handed it to Charlie. Charlie grabbed it and quickly tore off the wrapper and took an enormous bite. Then he took another ... and another ... and oh, the joy of being able to cram large pieces of something sweet and solid into one's mouth! The sheer blissful joy of being able to fill one's mouth with rich solid food!
'You look like you wanted that one, sonny,' the shopkeeper said pleasantly.
Charlie nodded, his mouth bulging with chocolate. ~ Roald Dahl
Sonny quotes by Roald Dahl
I have always been a person who is concerned with the dignity of jazz music and the way jazz musicians have been treated and are treated, and the fact that the music has not been given the kind of due that it deserves. ~ Sonny Rollins
Sonny quotes by Sonny Rollins
I took my solo and beat hell out of the skins. Then Spoof swiped at his mouth and let go with a blast and moved it up into that squeal and stopped and started playing. It was all headwork. All new to us.

New to anybody.

I saw Sonny get a look on his face, and we sat still and listened while Spoof made love to that horn.

Now like a scream, now like a laugh - now we're swinging in the trees, now the white men are coming, now we're in the boat and chains are hanging from our ankles and we're rowing, rowing - Spoof, what is it? - now we're sawing wood and picking cotton and serving up those cool cool drinks to the Colonel in his chair - Well, blow, man! - now we're free, and we're struttin' down Lenox Avenue and State & Madison and Pirate's Alley, laughing, crying - Who said free? - and we want to go back and we don't want to go back - Play it, Spoof! God, God, tell us all about it! Talk to us! - and we're sitting in a cellar with a comb wrapped up in paper, with a skin-barrel and a tinklebox - Don't stop, Spoof! Oh Lord, please don't stop! - and we're making something, something, what is it? Is it jazz? Why, yes, Lord, it's jazz. Thank you, sir, and thank you, sir, we finally got it, something that is ours, something great that belongs to us and to us alone, that we made, and that's why it's important and that's what it's all about and - Spoof! Spoof, you can;t stop now --

But it was over, middle of the trip. And there was Spoof st ~ Charles Beaumont
Sonny quotes by Charles Beaumont

Sonny quotes by John Milius
Our repertoire consisted of rhythm and blues, sort of country rhythm and blues, Sonny Terry things. ~ Ray Davies
Sonny quotes by Ray Davies
He whispered, "My Firecracker... ~ Lesley Livingston
Sonny quotes by Lesley Livingston
You can say what you want about all the guns in the country [the USA], all the drugs, all the crime, but we all know 400,000 people a year die of cigarette-related deaths. How many people died of drugs, guns, automobile accidents? You add them all together it doesn't come anywhere near that. Yet they let me smoke and get cancer, and they put me in jail for having drugs. What's going on? The government don't care. It's all about money and job security. ~ Sonny Barger
Sonny quotes by Sonny Barger
I'll know when I find the ultimate sound. ~ Sonny Rollins
Sonny quotes by Sonny Rollins
But we know that the very God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time. And sometimes we're called upon to defend both life and liberty - God's blessings to Americans, and indeed, to all of His creation. ~ Sonny Perdue
Sonny quotes by Sonny Perdue
Her name just HAD to be Karen,' Sonny says. 'Bet she puts raisins in her potato salad.' I smirk, and we cross our arms over our chests. Wakanda forever. ~ Angie Thomas
Sonny quotes by Angie Thomas
You're joking. You want to help me?"
"We're brothers-in-arms, Sonny." Fennrys stood and paced restlessly. "And, truth is, I'm bored out of my mind in Manhattan. Nothing to do there but jump at shadows and put up with Aaneel's pompous yapping: 'There're crack in the Gate! Remain vigilant! Protect the puny humans! Eek, a mouse!' It's tiresome. ~ Lesley Livingston
Sonny quotes by Lesley Livingston
People will always go to games. And not just Duke versus North Carolina. Even Appalachian State against Chatworth. ~ Sonny Vaccaro
Sonny quotes by Sonny Vaccaro
No, our greatness does not come from our government. ~ Sonny Perdue
Sonny quotes by Sonny Perdue
Sonny was a spiky ray of light to those lucky enough to be close to him, but life had taught him to play his cards close to his chest. ~ Garrett Leigh
Sonny quotes by Garrett Leigh
Even the most jingoistic person would have to admit that even American cultural music comes from Europe. That's what classical music is, real European music. ~ Sonny Rollins

Sonny quotes by Sonny Landham
Find your speed, maintain your velocity, keep it up, keep it consistent, and stay in the pocket. ~ Sonny Barger
Sonny quotes by Sonny Barger
What is qualified? What have I been qualified for in my life? I haven't been qualified to be a mayor. I'm not qualified to be a songwriter. I'm not qualified to be a TV producer. I'm not qualified to be a successful businessman. And so, I don't know what qualified means. ~ Sonny Bono
Sonny quotes by Sonny Bono
The practice of segregation still meant that Sonny had to see white people sitting at the front of every bus he took, that he got called "boy" by every other snot-nosed white kid in sight. The practice of segregation meant that he had to feel his separateness as inequality, and that was what he could not take. ~ Yaa Gyasi
Sonny quotes by Yaa Gyasi
I knew I had him in the first round. Almighty God was with me. I want everyone to bear witness, I am the greatest! I'm the greatest thing that ever lived. I don't have a mark on my face, and I upset Sonny Liston, and I just turned twenty-two years old. I must be the greatest. I showed the world. I talk to God everyday. I know the real God. I shook up the world, I'm the king of the world. You must listen to me. I am the greatest! I can't be beat! ~ Muhammad Ali
Sonny quotes by Muhammad Ali
Beginning in 1978, Nike paid coaches to put their shoes on the team. ~ Sonny Vaccaro
Sonny quotes by Sonny Vaccaro
Don't ever hit a person first, but if anybody ever puts their hands on you, you hit them right between the eyes. ~ Sonny Barger
Sonny quotes by Sonny Barger
What happens when you get hurt? Take that kid at Kentucky, Nerlens Noel, who could have turned pro after high school.Who knows what's going to happen? How the operation is going to go? The only thing I do know is that he would have been a top pick in the draft last year, and he'd have millions of dollars in the bank. ~ Sonny Vaccaro
Sonny quotes by Sonny Vaccaro
Asia is the continent rhythm forgot. At best Asian music is off-brand American pop, like Sonny Bono in a karaoke bar. At worst Asian music sounds as if a truck full of wind chimes collided
with a stack of empty oil drums during a birdcall contest. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Sonny quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
Treat me good, I'll treat you better, treat me bad and I'll treat you worse. ~ Sonny Barger
Sonny quotes by Sonny Barger
I call it people-to-people politics and that's what politics should be about, reaching out and helping one another and touching one another about what we're going to do. ~ Sonny Perdue
Sonny quotes by Sonny Perdue
Jazz never ends ... it just continues. ~ Sonny Rollins
Sonny quotes by Sonny Rollins
With all due respect to lawyers, it's wonderful that you have this intricate knowledge. You break down words to the nth degree. And sometimes I find it rather disgusting. And it goes on and on. ~ Sonny Bono
Sonny quotes by Sonny Bono
Dignity is treasure one should never lose. When humbling yourself, Don't bow down to any man. For he is no greator than you ~ Sonny Cele
Sonny quotes by Sonny Cele
When you have kids, your castle becomes their bouncy castle. In my case, this is literally true. Jimmy Kimmel bought Sonny and Natalia this inflatable castle in 2012. It's the real deal. At first, I thought he had rented it. No, he bought it. ~ Adam Carolla
Sonny quotes by Adam Carolla
People underestimate me, but I've always been a stretch runner. ~ Sonny Bono
Sonny quotes by Sonny Bono
If they ever let me in the ring with him [Cassius Clay], I'm liable to be put away for murder. ~ Sonny Liston
Sonny quotes by Sonny Liston
We go hard in the ink! ~ K'wan
Sonny quotes by K'wan
Sonny and another Hells Angel who was at the meeting thought they were beyond a little patch so they headed down to a local tattoo shop in Oakland and were the first to get the famous One Percent tattoos. ~ Chuck Zito
Sonny quotes by Chuck Zito
Wow. I didn't think I'd ever see you like that."
Cam trembled; he couldn't help it. He felt like his body was not his own. "Like what?"
"So..." Sasha seemed to search for the right word. "Involved, maybe? On-screen, you all seem kinda cold. I guess I figured you'd done it all before."
Cam took a moment to gather himself. A phrase came to him, and he allowed himself a wry grin. "It's not the same. That's work, even if it's one of my friends. This is real sex. ~ Garrett Leigh
Sonny quotes by Garrett Leigh
Now the kids are portrayed as dirty when they talk to an agent, a shoe guy, some hanger-on. Well, it's only natural that people are circling them - there are millions of dollars involved. ~ Sonny Vaccaro
Sonny quotes by Sonny Vaccaro
How ironic that the Negro, who more than any other people can claim America's culture as his own, is being persecuted and repressed; that the Negro, who has exemplified the humanities in his very existence, is being rewarded with inhumanity. ~ Sonny Rollins
Sonny quotes by Sonny Rollins
I met Sonny after (Blind Boy) Fuller died, and me and Sonny played in the streets like everybody else. ~ Brownie McGhee
Sonny quotes by Brownie McGhee

Sonny quotes by Sonny Liston
Yes, I'm your governor now. I'll take care of you. ~ Sonny Perdue
Sonny quotes by Sonny Perdue
LeBron james came, and he gets $10 million a year. There was no stigma or blemish, like you have with one-and-done. Now people say, "He's not a student, he's an athlete." Well, of course he's not a student! He's here for one year and he told you he's here for one year, and the school took him with open arms. ~ Sonny Vaccaro
Sonny quotes by Sonny Vaccaro
If I said I would knock out Sonny Liston in 1 minute and 49 seconds of the first round, that would hurt the gate. ~ Muhammad Ali
Sonny quotes by Muhammad Ali
Tuppence was what my grandmother nicknamed my mother, so she gave it to me. My sister is called Angel, and my brother was going to be called Bubba or Sonny, until they let me and my sister name him Josh. ~ Tuppence Middleton
Sonny quotes by Tuppence Middleton
Still writing tales?" he said. I told him yes and he nodded once, returning his attention to the snake. Very few of the boys I grew up with had finished high school, but they accepted that I was a writer. I was merely doing what other men did - following in my father's footsteps. Sonny was a plumber. The son of a local drunk was the town drunk in two towns. Sons of soldiers joined the army. That I had become a writer was perfectly normal. ~ Chris Offutt
Sonny quotes by Chris Offutt
Requiring valid, photographic identification is a common sense step to ensure voter integrity and sound elections. ~ Sonny Perdue
Sonny quotes by Sonny Perdue
Grover Washington was my main influence, and when I went to college, I started listening to more of the jazz masters like Sonny Rollins, Cannonball Adderley, and John Coltrane. ~ Kenny G
Sonny quotes by Kenny G
Our best teachers do more than impart facts and figures - they inspire and encourage students and instill a true desire to learn. That's a fine art in itself. ~ Sonny Perdue
Sonny quotes by Sonny Perdue
I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion there has ever been. No one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No! I'm Alexander! He's no Alexander! I'm the best ever. There's never been anyone as ruthless as me. I'm Sonny Liston. I'm Jack Dempsey. There's no one like me. I'm from their cloth. There is no one who can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want his heart! I want to eat his children! Praise be to Allah! ~ Mike Tyson
Sonny quotes by Mike Tyson
Sonny Liston is nothing. The man can't talk. The man can't fight. The man needs talking lessons. The man needs boxing lessons. And since he's gonna fight me, he needs falling lessons. ~ Muhammad Ali
Sonny quotes by Muhammad Ali
I go out on stage, and my intention is to make the first four rows bleed from their ears. ~ Sonny Sharrock
Sonny quotes by Sonny Sharrock

Sonny quotes by Tyler Perry
Believe me, Kelley. If I'm not ... it's because I'm already dead." He stroked her hair, and she could feel his breath warm on her forehead, like a kiss. "Because anyone that would seek to hurt you would have to kill me first. ~ Lesley Livingston
Sonny quotes by Lesley Livingston
I'll send you a friend request."
"You do that, sonny. I'm on the Internet every last Friday in the month, from eleven to three. ~ Nina George
Sonny quotes by Nina George
I'm a maverick. I've always been a maverick. ~ Sonny Bono
Sonny quotes by Sonny Bono
The crowd did not dream when they laid down their money that they would see a total eclipse of the Sonny! ~ Muhammad Ali
Sonny quotes by Muhammad Ali
Are you listening, Mr. Thornfield?" Sonny prepared himself for some dreadful curse in the name of God, or perhaps some ancient African demon. "I'm listening." "I forgive you. ~ Anonymous
Sonny quotes by Anonymous
Of course Sasha chose that moment to open the door. "Cam? Oh. Shit. Sorry."
Cam met Sasha's liquid gaze and forgot all about his friends at his knees. "Hey."
"Hey, yourself." Sasha ventured farther into the room. "Is this a private party, or can anyone play?"
"Depends," Sonny quipped from the floor. "Do you have lopsided balls? We're doing an in-depth analysis here. ~ Garrett Leigh
Sonny quotes by Garrett Leigh
NBA has a selfish rationale. It saves the owners money by delaying the time a player gets to a second, more lucrative contract. Even the player's union is on board. There are only 450 jobs in the NBA, and the one-and-done protects veterans' jobs. ~ Sonny Vaccaro
Sonny quotes by Sonny Vaccaro
Racket beer, sonny," he said sadly. "Tasteless as a roadhouse blonde." (Spanish Blood) ~ Raymond Chandler
Sonny quotes by Raymond Chandler
I was starting out in the business, there was only one path to playing professionally - graduate, or go four years. With the creation of the ABA [American Basketball Association] in the early 1970s, the sanctity of having to go to college was broken. The ABA took anyone, starting with Spencer Haywood. ~ Sonny Vaccaro
Sonny quotes by Sonny Vaccaro
Here's a lesson for you, Sonny: Don't write if you can talk, don' talk if you can nod your head, don't nod if you don't have to ~ Ed Falco
Sonny quotes by Ed Falco
Action is drama. If we cannot make the audience laugh, smile or cry with us, we are not actors. ~ Sonny Chiba
Sonny quotes by Sonny Chiba
Try to remember the reason you started riding a motorcycle in the first place. For me, it was a couple of things but mostly rebellion. ~ Sonny Barger
Sonny quotes by Sonny Barger
My hero when I was 14 was Sonny Liston. No matter what kinds of problems you were having with your parents or at school, whatever, Sonny Liston would go and knock guys out, and that made it all right. ~ August Wilson
Sonny quotes by August Wilson
I seek out songs that I believe in. You have to believe it in your heart first. Then the listener will believe it. ~ Sonny Burgess
Sonny quotes by Sonny Burgess
Sonny, don't you tell me what's worthwhile
true love is the best thing in the world, except for cough drops. Everybody knows that. ~ William Goldman
Sonny quotes by William Goldman
You have to open your mind. I like the ability to express myself in a deep way. It's the closest music to our humanity - it's like a folk music that rises up out of a culture. ~ Sonny Terry
Sonny quotes by Sonny Terry
Don't cling to fame. You're just borrowing it. It's like money. You're going to die, and somebody else is going to get it. ~ Sonny Bono
Sonny quotes by Sonny Bono
Sonny's lips twisted in a way I'd only seen once before. Barely restrained anger hid beneath the thick layer of his red-brown beard. "That f**king dumbass," he ground out. He cocked his head to one side, and then the other. A deep breath blew out from between his lips. "I'm gonna knock his teeth in."

He was being completely serious. So, so serious about defending my honor, I couldn't help it.

I started laughing.

"It's fine." I snorted. "Son, it's really fine. Knock his teeth in another day." I laughed again. "Or maybe once I find another job, okay? Then you can bust all his teeth and his kneecaps for all I care."

Those hazel eyes that were an exact replica of mine, narrowed. And then he quirked a little smile. "His kneecaps too?"

I shrugged. "Why not? Call him a friggin' idiot while you do it."

Sonny shook his head, full out grinning by that point. "To think I used to call you a good girl. My little sis telling me to break someone's kneecaps. You might make me cry, Ris." He leaned forward across the armchair I was sitting in and ruffled my hair. "Thatta girl."

I snorted and batted his hand away. ~ Mariana Zapata
Sonny quotes by Mariana Zapata
Unfortunately, you don't get to choose family, Sonny had told me once. But you do get to choose everyone else. In this case, I was cherry picking who I was going to spend the gift of my life with. ~ Mariana Zapata
Sonny quotes by Mariana Zapata
What did you expect? Welcome, sonny? Make yourself at home? Marry my daughter? You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know ... morons ~ Gene Wilder
Sonny quotes by Gene Wilder
You want to bang something too, sonny, you can borrow my shovel! ~ Abigail Roux
Sonny quotes by Abigail Roux
I believe in knowing all you can about the music and the people who made the music. I think it's much more important to know some good Miles Davis stories than to know how to play like Miles. I think you'll play better if you know some of the funny things he did than if you know the licks that he played. ~ Sonny Sharrock
Sonny quotes by Sonny Sharrock
Without knowing he was going to do it, Sonny smiled right at the general and said in a loud, firm voice, "It's okay. He's my brother, sir. ~ Dahl Edwardson
Sonny quotes by Dahl Edwardson
The great name of the Dollys was Milton, and ... if you named a son Milton it was a decision that attempted to chart the life he'd live before he even stepped into it, for among Dollys the name carried expectations and history ... Jessops, Arthurs, Haslams and Miltons were born to walk only the beaten Dolly path to the shadowed place, live and die in keeping with those blood-line customs fiercest held.
Ree and Mom both had shouted and shouted and shouted against Harold becomeing a Milton, since Sonny was already a Jessop ... Ree'd a thousand times wished she'd fought longer for sonny, Shouted him into an Adam or Leotis or Eugene, shouted until he was named to expect choices. ~ Daniel Woodrell
Sonny quotes by Daniel Woodrell
I have seen great jazz musicians die obscure and drinking themselves to death and not really being able to get any work and working in small, funky jazz clubs. ~ Sonny Rollins
Sonny quotes by Sonny Rollins
I feel kind of like the black sheep in Congress, but here I am. ~ Sonny Bono
Sonny quotes by Sonny Bono
You've got to give someone like Cher a lot of credit. She's worked very hard to get where she is. I can't take that away from her. ~ Sonny Bono
Sonny quotes by Sonny Bono
Mr Bough has 'surprise picnic' written all over him. ~ John Allison
Sonny quotes by John Allison
What did the Faerie that attacked you look like?"
"Super creepy. Ripped jeans, weird tattoos, bad hair. And, come to think of it, really nice boots ... "
"Where?"
"On his feet."
Sonny winced and rubbed his temples. "Where were you attacked, Kelley?"
"Okay, see ... that was a joke. ~ Lesley Livingston
