And then another day... uhh... a little bit later - *considerably* later - I realized something else - something I'm imparting to you now, Mr. MacDonald. I'm not a failure. I'm a success. You see, ambition is all right if it works. But no system could be right where only half of 1% were successes and all the rest were failures - that wouldn't be right. I'm not a failure. I'm a success. And so are you, if you earn your own living and pay your bills and look the world in the eye. I hope you win your $25,000, Mr. MacDonald. But if you shouldn't happen to, don't worry about it. Now get the heck back to your desk and try to improve your arithmetic

I was reading a book the other day.

Reading a book?

Yes. It's all about civilization or something. A nutty kind of a book. Do you know that the guy says that machinery is going to take the place of every profession?

Oh, my dear, that's something you need never worry about.

I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.

What I am trying to say is: I'm not a poet, I'm an ophiologist.

You ought to put handles on that skull. Maybe you could grow geraniums in it.

You're not wearing nylon underwear, are you? It disintegrates at high speeds.

(And you picked one I've always loved...)

A girl of sixteen is practically an idiot anyway, so I can't very well blame you for something that was practically done by somebody else.

There was a time when I used to get lots of ideas... I thought up the Seven Deadly Sins in one afternoon. The only thing I've come up with recently is advertising.

The biggest moment in commercial annals muffed by a gang of horse whistles who wouldn't know a slogan from a... ma-ma-ma... a poke in the eye with a stick!

I haven't changed. I'm the same as I was before - only in a different way.

If we never looked at things and thought of what might be, why we'd all still be out there in the tall grass with the apes.

Lincoln said, "With malice toward none, with charity to all." Nowadays they say, "Think the way I do or I'll bomb the daylights outta you."

All those miles of open sea and back again a man would need something to keep warm, now, wouldn't he?

Things are just the same as they always were, only, you're the same as you were, too, so I guess things will never be the same again.
