The internet has made it incredibly easy to find out who said what, and on what authority. But often you need the exact wording, or something like it, and sometimes you can't, or it might be that you only know a translated version.
So this is a thread for whatever you vaguely remember from somewhere, but can't track down by means of a simple search, in the hope that someone might know the correct form and hence the answer to your quest.
Three of mine:
1) It's never love for the same thing that makes allies of people. It's always hate for the same thing. What makes this one particularly frustrating is that I posted on another no longer extant site about it, found out the answer and forgot it again.
2) Never hate someone for their colour when there are so many better reasons. I have an idea it was a British footballer, though it sounds too good for one of those notoriously inarticulate celebrities.
3) Something about the definition of really bad news is about the same programme being on every channel or station. Very unsure of the wording of this one.
