Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.

~ Theodore Roosevelt

"I'm going to save my money and go to college, then become a G-man."

(On his adolescence) "I really feared people. The other kids didn't accept me. They treated me as one apart. I tried desperately to be one of the gang. When they rejected me, I fought back, became belligerent and cocky and was afraid all the time."

"A child lives in a world of its own, so, logically, a successful story for children must strike a chord in that world; possibly involve something he would like to do if he had the chance, like fly with his own wings or go down a rabbit hole, but above all, it must be something he can understand. Anything a child understands, chances are he will enjoy. However, everyone seems to enjoy these successful, so-called children's stories. For instance, you'll never meet a truthful person who says he doesn't like movie cartoons, especially a man. Someone said that women were always women, and men were always children."

(Standing before a California judge in 1961 on his drug addiction) "I had everything. I was earning more than $50,000 a year, working steadily with good parts. Then I started putting all my spare time in my arm. I'm not really sure why I started using narcotics. I was 17 when I first experimented with the stuff. In no time at all I was using whatever was available, mostly heroin, because I had the money to pay for it."

(On his rise and fall in Hollywood) "I have found that memories are not very useful. I was carried on a silver platter and then dumped into the garbage can."

-Bobby Driscoll

"The socialism I believe in is not really politics. It is a way of living. It is humanity. I believe the only way to live and to be truly successful is by collective effort, with everyone working for each other, everyone helping each other, and everyone having a share of the rewards at the end of the day."

The wonderful Bill Shankly.

When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer 'Present' or 'Not guilty.'

~ Theodore Roosevelt

On receiving the very first Best Actress Oscar - "Naturally, I was thrilled but being the first year, the Academy Awards had no background or tradition, and it naturally didn't mean what it does now. Had I known then what it would come to mean in the next few years, I'm sure I'd have been overwhelmed. At the time, I think I was more thrilled over meeting Douglas Fairbanks."

- Janet Gaynor

“Acting is like roller skating. Once you know how to do it, it is neither stimulating nor exciting.”

"The important thing for a star is to have an interesting face. He doesn`t have to move it very much. Editing and camerawork can always produce the desired illusion that a performance is being given."

"I never really thought I'd make the grade. And let's face it, I haven't."

“Dear World, I am leaving because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool. Good luck.”

-George Sanders

If I am asked to choose one from among Violence, Counter-violence and Nonviolence I shall definitely and confidently choose the last one as the first two are always to destroy everything under the sun. Yes, I shall love to favor nonviolence centuries after centuries in order to succeed finally in transferring my earth into a home for peace and love only.

"On the Day of Judgement, every double-crosser will have a banner up his anus proportionate to his treachery."

~'Reformed terrorist' 'Dr Fadl' takes on some of his erstwhile brothers in arms, 'the leaders of the microphones' of Al-Qaeda etc.

Oh, I'm sorry. I can't come to the door right now. I'm afraid that in my weakened condition, I could take a nasty spill down the stairs and subject myself to further school absences.

"Ferris: I do have a test today, that wasn't ********. It's on European socialism. I mean, really, what's the point? I'm not European. I don't plan on being European. So who gives a crap if they're socialists? They could be fascist anarchists, it still doesn't change the fact that I don't own a car."
