Charles Durning

“There's an awful lot of resources that can be drawn upon in an improvised music concert.”
“You can have your cake and eat it. But my God, it will go rotten inside you.”
“With the practice of deep meditation the mind contacts the Bliss Consciousness of the Spirit and becomes more peaceful, happy, creative and powerful. This state of mind enriches all values of material life.”
“You don't even have to win a championship every year to draw the fans. You just have to show you're really trying.”
“I bet most of us have experienced at some point the joys of less: college - in your dorm, traveling - in a hotel room, camping - rig up basically nothing, maybe a boat. Whatever it was for you, I bet that, among other things, this gave you a little more freedom, a little more time.”
“Success is failing nineteen times and soaring the twentieth.”
“Broken glass. It's just like glitter, isn't it?”
