The same man will, indeed, often see and judge the same things differently on different occasions: early convictions must give way to more mature ones.

—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“The movies were my textbooks for everything else in the world. When it wasn’t, I altered it. If I saw a college, I would see only cheerleaders or blonds. If I saw New York City, I would want to go to the slums I’d seen in the movies, where the tough kids played. If I went to Chicago, I’d want to see the brawling factories and the gangsters.”
—Jill Robinson (b. 1936)
“A war undertaken without sufficient monies has but a wisp of force. Coins are the very sinews of battles.”
