"Wanting to work is a luxury; having to work is not."

-- Steve Guttenberg

“By concentrating on precision, one arrives at technique, but by concentrating on technique one does not arrive at precision.”
“It is work which gives flavor to life.”
“You know, in the suburbs, most people believe in gravity, but they don't have much of a sense of humor.”
“Some friendships in life sustain themselves only at a particular life stage, products of some mutual developmental problem to be resolved together, or of some external circumstance, like being housed in the same dormitory in boarding school. Others grow out of a deeper spiritual and philosophical affinity, which continues throughout life.”
“How do you expect mankind to be happy in pairs when it is miserable separately?”

“Childhood is a complex dialectical process characterized by periodicity, unevenness in the development of different functions, metamorphosis or qualitative transformation of one form into another, intertwining of external and internal factors, and adaptive processes which overcome impediments that the child encounters.”
“It is a different world than when I was growing up, and you started to just kind of maintain at thirty-five and just hope you can hope it together. People are a lot more vital than I am and doing all kinds of things and leading really important movements.”
“O reputation! dearer far than life.”
