My dad was an agent for Met Life. In the '50s, I remember the mortality rate was something like - you had - 58 was the average age. Then it was moved up to 62, and then 65, 68.

I'm Southern Baptist, not a meteorologist.

It's simply a tragedy that anyone today goes blind from glaucoma, when it's so unnecessary.

No white group has founded a major religion on this planet. The major religious were started in the Orient and the Middle East, not in Greece and Rome. I always knew you racists didn't have a prayer.

Animals have never betrayed me. They are an easy prey, as I have been throughout my career. So we feel the same. I love them.

Even in a righteous cause force is a fearful thing.

I think that objects have memories. I’m always thinking that I’ll go to the museum and see something and have a big memory about some other lifetime.

Everything gives way before the recurring torment and festivity of passion.
