Quotes by Rupert Holmes  (?)

“When a man dies from a bullet entering his chest, it's a homicide.
When a man dies from a meteorite landing on his head, it's a tragedy.
Don't use bullets. Use meteorites
Don't commit a homicide. Commit a Tragedy.
-Guy McMaster”
Rupert Holmes, Murder Your Employer

“After all, when the behavior of another person leaves you no choice but to kill them, their murder is simply involuntary suicide.”
Rupert Holmes, Murder Your Employer

“If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain. If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain. If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape. I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape.”
Rupert Holmes
