The white youth of today have begun to react to the fact that the American Way of Life is a fossil of history. What do they care if their old baldheaded and crew-cut elders don't dig their caveman mops? They couldn't care less about the old, stiff-assed honkies who don't like their new dances: Frog, Monkey, Jerk, Swim, Watusi. All they know is that it feels good to swing to way-out body-rhythms instead of dragging across the dance floor like zombies to the dead beat of mind-smothered Mickey Mouse music.

Eldridge Cleaver

Every man is like the company he is wont to keep.

Euripides

In our factory, we make lipstick. In our advertising, we sell hope.

Charles Revson

I realize that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.

Billy Corgan

You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.

Zig Ziglar

Constant complaint is the poorest sort of pay for all the comforts we enjoy.

Benjamin Franklin

The ought to be a worldwide cultural taskforce that just stops you when you have ideas like combining The Red Desert with an armored car heist movie.

Steven Soderbergh
