Famous quotes containing the words prolific, television, character and/or actress:

    If I have renounced the search of truth, if I have come into the port of some pretending dogmatism, some new church, some Schelling or Cousin, I have died to all use of these new events that are born out of prolific time into multitude of life every hour. I am as bankrupt to whom brilliant opportunities offer in vain. He has just foreclosed his freedom, tied his hands, locked himself up and given the key to another to keep.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Anyone afraid of what he thinks television does to the world is probably just afraid of the world.
    Clive James (b. 1939)

    Eccentricity: strength of character doubling back on itself.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    An actress is not a machine, but they treat you like a machine. A money machine.
    Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
