Famous Quotes & Sayings

Stanley Kubrick

Man isn't a noble savage, he's an ignoble savage. He is irrational, brutal, weak, silly, unable to be objective about anything where his own interests are involved-that about sums it up.

And any attempt to create social institutions on a false view of the nature of man is probably doomed to failure.

Stephenie Meyer

Willem de Kooning

The 'Women' had to do with the female painted through all ages, all those idols, and maybe I was stuck to a certain extent; I couldn't go on.

Ronald Reagan

If you've seen one redwood tree, you've seen them all
