• Animation had been used only for things like King Kong and the destruction of cities, which was very popular in the 1950s. I got tired of destroying cities.

• The irrevocable Hand
  That opes the year's fair gate, doth ope and shut
  The portals of our earthly destinies;
  We walk through blindfold, and the noiseless doors
  Close after us, for ever.
  
  Pause, my soul,
  On these strange words - for ever - whose large sound
  Breaks flood-like, drowning all the petty noise
  Our human moans make on the shores of Time.
  O Thou that openest, and no man shuts;
  That shut'st, and no man opens - Thee we wait!

  Dinah Maria Murlock Craik

• Diversification is something that stock brokers came up with to protect themselves, so they wouldn't get sued for making bad investment choices for clients.

• We should not forget that when we limp away afflicted through the spirit, it is not to the factory gates or to the corporate steps we pilgrimage. Instead we go to the sea for its salt. We find shade under the sycamores on the great avenues. Or we go to the rivers where water tells us modestly of its own sickness.
