John Jerome Rooney

Famous quotes containing the words jerome and/or rooney:

    The shy man does have some slight revenge upon society for the torture it inflicts upon him. He is able, to a certain extent, to communicate his misery. He frightens other people as much as they frighten him. He acts like a damper upon the whole room, and the most jovial spirits become, in his presence, depressed and nervous.
    Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)

    A lot of people have asked me how short I am. Since my last divorce, I think I’m about $100,000 short.
    —Mickey Rooney (b. 1920)
