Famous quotes containing the words money and/or shot:

    An actress is not a machine, but they treat you like a machine. A money machine.
    Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)

    We talk about a representative government; but what a monster of a government is that where the noblest faculties of the mind, and the whole heart, are not represented! A semihuman tiger or ox, stalking over the earth, with its heart taken out and the top of its brain shot away. Heroes have fought well on their stumps when their legs were shot off, but I never heard of any good done by such a government as that.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
