At the time of Polaroid - and I did a couple of other commercials just before I stopped doing that stuff - at that point I was at the level where they respect you and your opinion and all that sort of thing.

I always considered an idle Life, as a real evil, but, a life of such hurry, such constant hurry, leaves us scarcely a moment for reflection or for the discharge of any other then the most immediate and pressing concerns.

Edward Rutledge

Every man is a borrower and a mimic, life is theatrical and literature a quotation

Ralph Waldo Emerson

a young man was hung by a rope made of Stalingrad snow

Markus Zusak

To climb steep hills requires slow pace at first.

William Shakespeare

How many of our daydreams would darken into nightmares, were there a danger of their coming true!

Logan Pearsall Smith

Acquire new knowledge whilst thinking over the old, and you may become a teacher of others.

Confucius

I think I have always had a little humor.

Marilyn Monroe

I have long believed taxpayers make better use of their money than the government ever could.

Kay Bailey Hutchison

Evolution is so creative. That's how we got giraffes.

Kurt Vonnegut

If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having. A world of automata--of creatures that worked like machines--would hardly be worth creating. The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they must be free.

C.S. Lewis

I should consent to breed under pressure, if I were convinced in any way of the reasonableness of reproducing the species. But my nerves and the nerves of any woman I could live with three months, would produce only a victim... lacking in impulse, a mere bundle of discriminations. If I were wealthy I might subsidize a stud of young peasants, or a tribal group in Tahiti.

Ezra Pound

When you grow suspicious of a person and begin a system of espionage upon him, your punishment will be that you will find your suspicions true.

Elbert Hubbard
