Famous quotes containing the words avenue, south and/or side:
“Has anyone ever told you that you overplay your various roles rather severely, Mr. Kaplan? First youre the outraged Madison Avenue man who claims hes been mistaken for someone else. Then you play the fugitive from justice, supposedly trying to clear his name of a crime he knows he didnt commit. And now you play the peevish lover stung by jealously and betrayal. It seems to me you fellows could stand a little less training from the FBI and a little more from the Actors Studio.”
—Ernest Lehman (b.1920)
“If you are one of the hewers of wood and drawers of small weekly paychecks, your letters will have to contain some few items of news or they will be accounted dry stuff.... But if you happen to be of a literary turn of mind, or are, in any way, likely to become famous, you may settle down to an afternoon of letter-writing on nothing more sprightly in the way of news than the shifting of the wind from south to south-east.”
—Robert Benchley (18891945)
“Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When youre chewing on lifes gristle
Dont grumble, give a whistle
And thisll help turn things out for the best ...
And ... always look on the bright side of life.”
—Monty Pythons Flying Circus. Mr. Frisbee III (Eric Idle)
