From the New York Times of June 10, 2003:

As Spinoza noted, “If a triangle could speak, it would say… that God is eminently triangular.”

From “The Cocktail Party,” Act One, Scene One, by T. S. Eliot:

UNIDENTIFIED GUEST [Sings]:

Tooryooly toory-iley
   What’s the matter with One Eyed Riley?

[Exit.]

JULIA:  Edward, who is that dreadful man? 

From T. S. Eliot, The Complete Poems and Plays, 1909-1950 (Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1952), page 144:

“The end is where we start from.”

From the end of that same book:

“And me be-in’ the One-Eyed Ri-ley”
