Famous quotes containing the words leary, john and/or harrison:

    I’ve never heard of Timothy Leary before, but I want to get into advertising, so I liked when he talked about how whoever controls your eyeballs controls your mind.
    Amy Stewart (b. 1975)

    Why don’t you come up sometime ‘n see me ? I’m home every evening ... come on up, I’ll tell your fortune.
    Harvey Thew, screenwriter, John Bright, screenwriter, and Lowell Sherman. Lady Lou (Mae West)

    I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.
    —Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
