Quote examples
John Major
British Politician
The sight of allegedly sophisticated politicians parroting complete tripe trivialises and demeans government and it has to be stopped. It's played a significant part in public disillusionment with politics and has led to the absurd situation where more people vote for 'Strictly Come Dancing' than voted in the general election.
Quote examples
Glenn Greenwald
American Journalist
There's a perennial debate about whether the propagandistic tripe produced by establishment media outlets is shaped more by evil or by stupidity. Personally, I think it's both: a healthy dose of each is needed. The system design is malicious, while those who serve as its public face are generally vacant.
Quote examples
George MacDonald Fraser
Scottish Author
It may be tripe, but it's my tripe - and I do urge other authors to resist encroachments on their brain-children and trust their own judgment rather than that of some zealous meddler with a diploma in creative punctuation who is just dying to get into the act.
Quote examples
Fergus Henderson
English Chef
I think tripe is maligned. It's wonderful stuff, but everyone goes 'urgh.' You have to wash and then cook it, very gently braise it, for eight hours. It uplifts you but steadies you at the same time.
Quote examples
Michael J. Fox
Canadian Actor
That's the way I look at things - if you focus on the worst case scenario and it happens, you've lived it twice. It sounds like Pollyanna-ish tripe but I'm telling you - it works for me.
Quote examples
Monty Don
English Celebrity
I'm a great believer in trying things, so I've eaten witchetty grubs, a mountain frog, ostrich and alligator. I like tongue, I like brains and tripe.
Quote examples
Andy Summers
English Musician
What I wanted to do was play the guitar but I don't like instrumental rock. I think it is tripe.
Quote examples
Bill O'Brien
British Politician
The fun is in figuring out why the French are susceptible to such tripe.

Simon McBurney
English Actor
Most people won't order tripe in a restaurant, but it can be fantastic.

I eat like a pig. Tripe is the only thing I won't eat.
