Surround yourself with people whose eyes light up when they see you coming. Slowly is the fastest way to get to where you want to be. The top of one mountain is the bottom of the next, so keep climbing.
- André De Shields’ acceptance speech for his first Tony Award at age 70
Quoted from BazilBLast:[quoted image]
That's actually wrong.
The line is "... you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?”
Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.
Woodrow Wilson,
The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent.
J. Edgar Hoover
Orson Welles, a few days before he died:
"I was going to show them they were wrong, and I have spent the rest of my life showing people, trying to prove that what is said is wrong, and that's been an enormous waste of spirit and of energy."
... also Orson Wells:
"... Get me a jury and show me how you can say "In July" and I'll go down on you."

Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.

god I love Bourdain. What a tremendous loss for the world. Depression is no joke.
(and I can't believe Kissinger is still here haunting our world)
From my dad before I left for college:
Son, they can make it faster than you can drink it.
From a friend I work out with:
Everything hurts and I'm all out of ideas.

"There's no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons".
Ronald Reagan (while Governor of CA).
CA was an open carry state in 1967 when 30 Black Panthers "stormed" our state capital in defense of open carry. The image of this shocked people and open carry was outlawed in CA shortly thereafter.
Two iconic movie quotes are spoken within 10 seconds of each other.
Oh my God, the quarterback is toast.
Hit it again.

I always like this song quote:
I thought I was a hero, she rated me a zero, said honey child you're not through.
Quoted from Pickle:My favorite line on a headstone:
Weep for me not
Though death do us sever
For I will do nothing
Forever and ever

A mind full of preconceived ideas, subjective intentions, or habits is not open to things as they are.
