“If Jesus, or his likeness, should now visit the earth, what church of the many which now go by his name would he enter? Or, if tempted by curiosity, he should incline to look into all, which do you think would not shut the door in his face?... It seems to me ... that as one who loved peace, taught industry, equality, union, and love, one towards another, Jesus were he alive at this day, would recommend you to come out of your churches of faith, and to gather into schools of knowledge.”

—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
“Well, it seems to me a scientist has need for both vision and confidence.”
—Harry Essex (b. 1910)

—Berkeley Breathed (b. 1957)
“Nothing bad’s going to happen to us. If we get fired, it’s not failure; its a midlife vocational reassessment.”
