Victor Hugo

Ron Fournier

Aldrich Ames
Why do I not seek some real good; one which I could feel, not one which I could display?

The end destination may well be fame and fortune, but the road to stardom is littered with broken hearts.
Nigel Lythgoe
Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
