Quotes

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is
a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at
life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what
I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities."
- Dr. Seuss

"Earth is a flower and
it's pollinating."
- Neil Young

"People are, if anything, more touchy
about being thought silly than they
are about being thought unjust."
- E. B. White

"We do on stage things that are supposed to happen
off. Which is a kind of integrity, if you look on
every exit as being an entrance somewhere else."
- Tom Stoppard

"The artist doesn't have time to listen to the
critics. The ones who want to be writers read
the reviews, the ones who want to write don't
have the time to read reviews."
- William Faulkner

"The average, healthy, well-adjusted
adult gets up at seven-thirty in the
morning feeling just plain terrible."
- Jean Kerr

your children - it leaves
your midsection unprotected."

the attic of the Foreign Office where
future diplomats are taught to stammer."
- Peter Ustinov

"Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns
it, and finds himself no wiser than before... He is full of
murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having
come by their ignorance the hard way."
- Kurt Vonnegut
