Famous quotes containing the words top, ten, money, making and/or stars:

    You shouldn’t be looking at the bottom of the mountain. Why don’t you try looking at the top some time?
    Robert Riskin (1897–1955)

    I was ten when they buried you.
    At twenty I tried to die
    And get back, back, back to you.
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    Criminals are never very amusing. It’s because they’re failures. Those who make real money aren’t counted as criminals. This is a class distinction, not an ethical problem.
    Orson Welles (1915–1985)

    Where is he who seeing a thousand men useless and unhappy, and making the whole region forlorn by their inaction, and conscious himself of possessing the faculty they want, does not hear his call to go and be their king?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    If the stars that move together as one, disband,
    Flying like insects of fire in a cavern of night,
    Pipperoo, pippera, pipperum . . . The rest is rot.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
