“Why do we wrap things? Usually to protect them. The more fragile they are, the more important the wrapping. Your dream is prey to many perils. It may shatter under the blows of criticism, evaporate with competition's heat, sink to the bottomless depths of others' indifference. Tend to your dream. Protect it as you would a fallen nestling. Until the day when itâ€”and youâ€”will fly.”
“One kid said to me, he said, Mr. Lloyd, we really owe you. And I explained to him, man, you owe me absolutely nothing. I said, whatever kind of career I had, it has served me well, but you do owe some people. And the people you owe are the folks who are going to come behind you. It's incumbent upon each watch â€” when you play your 10, 11 years and you're in your group â€” when you leave, I truly hope that you've done all you can possibly do to leave it a better place for the folks who come behind you.”
“Trust yourself that you can do it and get it”

I had to fight the urge to push back my chair and start screaming: STAND BACK! ALL OF YOU! I'VE GOT AN ARTHUR FINDLAY BOX CUTTER! Instead, I quietly excused myself and went to the bar, to commune with spirits I know how to relate to.”
“Well, fancy giving money to the Government! Might as well have put it down the drain.”

“It is obvious that art cannot teach anyone anything, since in four thousand years humanity has learnt nothing at all. We should long ago have become angels had we been capable of paying attention to the experience of art, and allowing ourselves to be changed in accordance with the ideals it expresses. Art only has the capacity, through shock and catharsis, to make the human soul receptive to good. Itâ€™s ridiculous to imagine that people can be taught to be goodâ€¦Art can only give food â€“ a jolt â€“ the occasion â€“ for psychical experience.”
“I was, if you like, a successful schoolboy in that I had a degree of talent in all the required things that make you a success at school.”
