“Summer and the laugh of my daughter make me believe in god.”
“Change is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be a fish.”
“Not I, not I, but the wind that blows through me! A fine wind is blowing the new direction of Time.”
“Misfortune is the best fortune. Rejection by all is victory.”

“One should not associate with controversy; one should always reach for the highest ratings; one should never forget that there is safety in numbers; one should always remember that comedy, adventure, and escapism provide the best atmosphere for selling.”
