John Ford was so funny that I couldn't wait to go to work in the morning.

Richard Widmark

Up with life. Stamp out all small and large indignities. Leave everyone alone to make it without pressure. Down with hurting. Lower the standard of living. Do without plastics. Smash the servo-mechanisms. Stop grabbing. Snuff the breeze and hug the kids. Love all love. Hate all hate.

John D. MacDonald

I covet truth; beauty is unripe childhood's cheat; I leave it behind with the games of youth.
