The big difference between people is not between the rich and the poor, the good and the evil. The biggest of all differences between people is between those who have had pleasure in love and those who haven't.

The only way we can give our children the best education in the world and prepare them for the next century is by funding the programs that serve them.

Acting is like letting your pants down you're exposed.
Paul Newman
Image
I just hope when my body goes, or when my mind does, I have the guts to end it the way Hemingway did. I don't want anybody wiping drool off my chin.
Paul Newman
Image
A rebel is a nonconformist who is constantly saying no, and I'm not that. I'm a conformist and I believe in progress, and you can't make much progress by saying no all the time. A rebel is destructive. I know I have something constructive to offer.

You say somebody’s guilty, everybody believes you. You say they’re innocent, nobody cares.
