“In a country that doesn't discriminate between fame and infamy, the latter presents itself as plainly more achievable.”

“We are in the process of disabling our most distinctive achievement - our educational system - in the name of making the country more like itself.”

“Fame or infamy, either one is preferable to being forgotten when you have passed from this realm.”

“The plain fact is that this country and other industrial countries are deeply dependent on animal exploitation to sustain their present economic structures. The plain fact is that we are more dependent on animal exploitation than were the states of the southern United States on human slavery…. So, although there are more people concerned about animals and the environment, little progress has been made because those who profit from animal exploitation and the government that exists to serve their interests have a lot to lose and are not budging—not an inch.”

“The fame of an actor is won in minutes and seconds, not in years. The latter are only helpful in the recurrence of opportunities; in the possibilities of repetition.”

“Lying in a featherbed will not bring you fame, nor staying beneath the quilt, and he who uses up his life without achieving fame leaves no more vestige of himself on earth than smoke in the air or foam upon the water.”
