"Amateur feed on hope. Professionals work."

--

Garson Kanin

“Men who define themselves as breadwinners are going to have to leave the traditional iconography of masculinity behind if they want to be breadwinners.”
“Skepticism is my only gospel, but I don't want to make a dogma out of it.”
“Humor is everything. Everything. Usually the negatives turned out to be the most positive for me. In the music industry, any other artist would have looked at the situation I was in and thought, "Oh man, this is not for me." I looked at it more like Darwin exploring the GalÃ¡pagos Islands - survival of the fittest.”
“You may tell me that my hand and foot are only imaginary symbols of my existence. I could believe you, but you never, never can convince me that the I is not an eternal reality, and that the spiritual is not the true and real part of me.”
“There are eyes everywhere. No blind spot left. What shall we dream of when everything becomes visible? We'll dream of being blind.”
“I hate to repeat lines, to say the same damned thing. I try to rewrite cliches and make what I say sound fresh.”
“The profit on a good action is to have done it.”
“I'm fundamentally a busy person; I spend my time doing useful things and profoundly useless things!”
