"Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who would want to live in an institution?" "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard." "All men are frauds. The only difference between them is that some admit it. I myself deny it." "The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is cured on one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one." Top 5 quotes from Money "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." "It made me sick to watch those businessmen applaud Welles during the 1975 AFI tribute, when you know that the next day if he asked any one of them for money, they'd say, 'We'll let you know.'"" "What is the most important for democracy is not that great fortunes should not exist, but that great fortunes should not remain in the same hands. In that way there are rich men, but they do not form a class." "The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it." "Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty."
