  Spike Milligan
Editor's Note: Spike Milligan (1919 - 2002) is a British comic genius. Principal-creator of the memorable "Goon Show", fantastic musician and author of many excellent books, many of which recounting his days as a solidier during WWII on campaigns in north Africa & Italy. Plagued with mental disorders, he unfortunately suffered from at least 10 breakdowns during his life. Widely accepted as the Godfather of British comedy the Prince of Wales was a noted fan, and Milligan caused a stink by calling him a "grovelling little bastard" on television in 1994 - you have to love him for that :) Sadly missed. On with the (by no means complete) list of my favourite quotations:

I thought I'd begin by reading a poem by Shakespeare, but then I thought, why should I? He never reads any of mine.

I'm a hero with coward's legs.
