After a while I started to think of that as an image of something that went a lot deeper than the dead dog, which is you can't bring back anything to life.

More quotes by Alan Alda
Jean Paul Sartre says in No Exit that hell is other people. Well, our task in life is to make it heaven. Or at least earth.
Alan Alda
There are two things that I get a lot of pleasure from in my life, and that is, doing what I know how to do well - that really makes me happy. The other one, and probably an equal pleasure, is finding out how I can be helpful and then really being helpful.
Alan Alda
It's not an epitaph. I felt I could look back at my life and get a good story out of it. It's a picture of somebody trying to figure things out. I'm not trying to create some impression about myself. That doesn't interest me.
Alan Alda
There's plenty of money to be had. But you also lose your soul.
Alan Alda
I have a final word of advice to our students. If you work very, very hard, this is the kind of actor, writer and director you may turn out to be, and if you work extra hard, this is the kind of person you may turn out to be.
Alan Alda
life is meaningless unless you bring meaning to it ... it is up to us to create our own existence. Unless you do something, unless you make something it's as though you aren't there.
Alan Alda
In 2003, I almost died of an intestinal blockage when I was on a mountain in Chile, filming a segment for 'Scientific American Frontiers.'
Alan Alda
I play tennis non-obsessively. I seem to beat people I play a lot or half the time, so I guess I gravitate to people who are as bad as I am.
Alan Alda
My relationship with science is as someone who's curious and hungry to know, hungry to understand. So all I have to offer is my ignorance and my curiosity, which is a good combination, as long as they come together.
Alan Alda
The best things said come last. People will talk for hours saying nothing much and then linger at the door with words that come with a rush from the heart.
Alan Alda
Being mystified is a good beginning, because you won't do what you've done before.
Alan Alda
I'm very interested in the improvisation because one of the things I do is to help train scientists to communicate in a better way and more personal way when they're making a presentation, and I use improvisation to do that.
Alan Alda
People who laugh together generally don't kill each other.
Alan Alda
What then are doing if not creating a better place together? I think, for me the key has to be, what do I want to create? What is it I want to leave behind?
Alan Alda
When I studied how to think in school, I was taught that the first rule of logic was that a thing cannot both be and not be at the same time and in the same respect. That last note, “in the same respect,” says a lot. As soon as you change the frame of reference, you’ve changed the truthiness of a once immutable fact.
Alan Alda
I find myself going to places where I really have no business, speaking to these people in a whole other field that I have no extensive knowledge of. But I do it very often because it scares me.
Alan Alda
Some of the greatest things, as I understand, they have come about by serendipity, the greatest discoveries
Alan Alda
Our lives depend on good communication. Good communication helps personal relationships, it helps bosses and employees get along better. We rely on it.
Alan Alda
Republicans are as capable of coming up with great ideas and moving this country along as anyone - they just don't do it.
Alan Alda
Be as smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than to be smart.
