“Well, we were all in high school and we got together, and in college – we were in art college together.”

“What most people don't understand is that UFOs are on a cosmic tourist route. That's why they're always seen in Arizona, Scotland, and New Mexico.

Alice Cooper, Golf Monster Quotes

Welcome to My Nightmare Quotes

“I don't want to feel you die,
but if that's the way that God has planned you
Well, I'll put pennies on your eyes.

I must be dreaming...
Is someone calling me? No...
I think I hear a voice,
They're outside the door!”
