Lenin was the first to discover that capitalism 'inevitably' caused war; and he discovered this only when the First World War was already being fought. Of course he was right. Since every great state was capitalist in 1914.

Lennon and McCartney have the best catalogue of songs ever produced. It will never be surpassed.
‐‐ Bjorn Ulvaeus
Lennon was not very fond of me. Lennon didn't like to be around somebody else who was likely to be the center of attention and didn't like being on deck with somebody who was intellectually as hot as he was.
‐‐ Peter Fonda
Lennon was right. And we are bigger than Jesus. We will be as big as the Beatles, if not bigger.
‐‐ Liam Gallagher
Lennon was very helpful. What he taught me seems completely obvious: he expected people to treat each other well.
‐‐ Annie Leibovitz
Lennox Lewis is a hater of Tyson Fury.
‐‐ Tyson Fury
Lenny Bruce is a very moral man trying to improve the world and trying to make audiences think.
‐‐ Dorothy Kilgallen
Lenny Kravitz is one of my favorite musical artists.
‐‐ Lawrence Jackson
Leno, Conan. They are both really funny. They really know how to land one.
‐‐ Jimmy Fallon
Lent is a time to renew wherever we are in that process that I call the divine therapy. It's a time to look what our instinctual needs are, look at what the dynamics of our unconscious are.
‐‐ Thomas Keating
Lentil dhal is the only thing I can cook.
‐‐ Rebecca Hall
Leo couldn't deliver Mr. Martin Scorsese his Oscar with 'The Aviator', but I will go on record to say I will do so in 'The Departed'.
‐‐ Anthony Anderson
Leo Durocher was our manager and he brought Willie up to me and said, 'This is Willie Mays and he's your new roommate.' You could see right away that this young man was a natural. He had those real big hands, great power and speed and would catch everything hit in his direction. He's the best center fielder that ever lived, no question.
‐‐ Monte Irvin
Leo Hurwicz is the father of mechanism design theory and has inspired much of my work, and Roger Myerson is an old friend and collaborator and a tremendous economist.
‐‐ Eric Maskin
Leo, sadly, has Parkinson's, but he used to cook all sorts of dazzling things.
‐‐ Jilly Cooper
Leon Theremin's original designs are elegant, ingenious and effective. As electronics goes, the theremin is very simple. But there are so many subtleties hidden in the details of the design. It's like a great sonnet, or a painting, or a speech, that is perfectly done on more than one level.
‐‐ Robert Moog
Leon Uris is a storyteller, in a direct line from those men who sat around fires in the days before history and made the tribe more human.
‐‐ Pete Hamill
Leonard Bernstein was probably the most significant formative influence on me - he was such an encompassing musician. I spent my teenage years absorbing him, and my other interests stemmed off of that. Bernstein led me to Sondheim and to Gershwin, and Sondheim led me to listening to Joni Mitchell.
‐‐ Jason Robert Brown
Leonard Chess passed, and that was the end of the Chess label for that time.
‐‐ Solomon Burke
Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave know best. Although I wear a lot of jeans, I've been told that Nick Cave doesn't own a pair and wouldn't be caught dead in denim.
‐‐ Matt Berninger
Leonard Cohen has a way with words and with humor that remind me to lighten up, which I appreciate very much.
‐‐ Damien Rice
Leonardo Da Vinci combined art and science and aesthetics and engineering, that kind of unity is needed once again.
‐‐ Ben Shneiderman
Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack in 'Titanic' was my childhood crush!
‐‐ Christa B. Allen
Leonardo Dicaprio didn't change his name, Emilio Estevez didn't change his name. But every case is different. I only have one reference of what my career was and I was very, very blessed and very, very lucky, and it got started very quickly after college. And I only know that by going with Roday.
‐‐ James Roday
Leonardo DiCaprio is a rare phenomenon. Whereas for so many celebrities an interest in the environment is a fashionable accessory, for DiCaprio it is a thread that runs through everything he does.
‐‐ Zac Goldsmith
Leonardo DiCaprio is a very serious young actor.
‐‐ Robert De Niro
Leopard is an animal design, and my designs come from nature.
‐‐ Roberto Cavalli
Leopard print has been my thing forever! When I was a teenager my entire room was done in leopard print - it's timeless, chic, and always in style. When in doubt... leopard!
‐‐ Khloe Kardashian
Lepers were a common sight all over India and in every part of Calcutta, but extending help beyond dropping a coin or two into their rag-wrapped stumps was not. As a child I was convinced even touching a spot a leper had rubbed against would lead to infection.
‐‐ Bharati Mukherjee
Leroy bet me I couldn't find a pot of gold at the end, and I told him that was a stupid bet because the rainbow was enough.
‐‐ Rita Mae Brown
Les Miserables is one of my favorite stories.
‐‐ Larry King
Les Pauls work out real well for me because I'll beat the hell out of them and they'll still work. The only trouble with them is finding good ones.
‐‐ Tommy Shaw
Lesbian existence comprises both the breaking of a taboo and the rejection of a compulsory way of life. It is also a direct or indirect attack on the male right of access to women.
‐‐ Adrienne Rich
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender teens are bullied and ostracized in epidemic proportions. It's disgusting, and it must change.
‐‐ Monica Raymund
Lesbian humor isn't trying to sell anything, it doesn't have to sell out. Coming out as a lesbian onstage is still a very political act; if it weren't, more women would do it.
‐‐ Kate Clinton
'Lesbian Vampire Killers' was quite embarrassing.
‐‐ James Corden
Lesbianism is so rampant in some of the schools in southeast Oklahoma that they'll only let one girl go to the bathroom. Now think about it. Think about that issue. How is it that that's happened to us?
‐‐ Tom Coburn
Lesbians and gays... they still have to fight, even inside. It's not that simple, even if they seem to be accepted.
‐‐ Catherine Deneuve
Lesbians are likely to be drawn to stand-up, if only because it's cheaper to produce and therefore more accessible for women. But the very form of stand-up is masculine.
‐‐ Kate Clinton
Lesley Gore's part-time field was pop singer, and in her brief but urgent prime, she was the Queen of Teen Angst. She endured heartbreak as a birthday girl betrayed by her beau in 'It's My Party,' savored revenge in the sequel 'Judy's Turn to Cry' and belted the proto-feminist anthem 'You Don't Own Me.'
‐‐ Richard Corliss
Lesli Glatter directed an episode of 'Mad Men' and then came in to direct an episode of 'House.' And she didn't recognize me at all.
‐‐ Anne Dudek
Leslie Nielsen was my favorite growing up; getting to work with him was amazing.
‐‐ Drake Bell
Less base the fear of death than fear of life.
‐‐ Edward Young
Less cars on the road means productivity and jobs growth, as it allows for the more efficient movement of goods and services and encourages greater urban population density.
‐‐ Anthony Albanese
Less emphasis on inventories, I think, may tend to dampen business cycles, because business cycles are typically in the grasp of inventory cycles and heavy industry cycles.
‐‐ Paul A. Volcker
Less government, less regulation, lower taxes.
‐‐ Grover Norquist
Less is a bore.
‐‐ Robert Venturi
Less is always more. The best language is silence. We live in a time of a terrible inflation of words, and it is worse than the inflation of money.
‐‐ Eduardo Galeano
Less is more.
‐‐ Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
Less is more! I don't wear makeup if I don't have to.
‐‐ Jennifer Nettles
Less is more. I truly believe in buying a few pieces with better construction.
‐‐ Stacy London
Less is more, unless you're Al Gore.
‐‐ Jeff Rich
Less is more when you do a bright, bold lip. Just draw on black liner and some mascara and you're good to go!
