Quote by John Malkovich

A dog that has rabies probably will do things it wouldn't do if it didn't have rabies. But that doesn't change the fact that it has rabies.

A dog that has rabies probably will do things it wouldn't do

Summary

This quote emphasizes that an individual's actions or behaviors may change due to certain circumstances or conditions, but those changes do not alter the underlying reality or truth of their situation. Using the example of a dog with rabies, it implies that the dog's unusual behavior may be a result of the disease, but it doesn't negate the fact that the dog is infected with rabies. In a broader context, it suggests that temporary deviations from the norm do not invalidate the inherent truth or condition of a person or situation.

Ceremonies are important. But our gratitude has to be more than visits to the troops, and once-a-year Memorial Day ceremonies. We honor the dead best by treating the living well.

To all the talented young men who wander about feeling that

To all the talented young men who wander about feeling that there is nothing in the world for them to do, I should say: 'Give up trying to write, and, instead, try not to write. Go out into the world; become a pirate, a king in Borneo, a labourer in Soviet Russia; give yourself an existence in which the satisfaction of elementary physical needs will occupy almost all your energies.' I do not recommend this course of action to everyone, but only to those who suffer from the disease which Mr Krutch diagnoses. I believe that, after some years of such an existence, the ex-intellectual will fin that in spite of is efforts he can no longer refrain from writing, and when this time comes his writing will not seem to him futile.

For me, commerce is of trivial import; love, faith, truth of character, the aspiration of man, these are sacred; nor can I detach one duty, like you, from all other duties, and concentrate my forces mechanically on the payment of moneys
