Quotes of 1940

Quotes taken from the authors in 1940

I searched for years I found no love. I'm sure that love will never be a product of plasticity.

One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds.

If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.

No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to.

It isn't necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice. There are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia.

It's huge. You win the first game of the series, you want to win the series.

When we lost, I couldn't sleep at night. When we win, I can't sleep at night. But, when you win, you wake up feeling better.

It's something you hope doesn't happen. When you sign on to do a job, you hope you'll be able to get it done. But that's not always in your control.

I was always a little hesitant to accuse people of loading a bat to hit a ball farther. I was always very hesitant to approach people because I never had any evidence that I had firsthand knowledge of.

That's what I'd like to think that my reputation is - being honest

I began as a boy with artistic talent... as a visual artist... I thought that was what I'd become and in my late teens drifted into reading serious literature.

Lists of books we reread and books we can't finish tell more about us than about the relative worth of the books themselves.

If you dedicate your attention to discipline in your life you become smarter while you are writing than while you are hanging out with your pals or in any other line of work.

It's hard to spend years at a time working in total solitude with no reality-check.

Motivations are too tangled and complex.

Advertising gets such a bashing from the world. At parties you are always asked, 'Aren't you just selling people things they don't want?'

Have you noticed that the cleverest people at school are often not the ones who succeed in life?

There are rules in advertising, and those rules are self-imposed by the client companies because they don't want their products to be seen as dishonest.

We are all advertising, all of the time. If you want to sell your car, what do you do? You clean and polish it and make it the best you can. Some people bake bread when they are trying to sell their house because the smell adds a friendly feeling. Even the priest, with all his or her fervour, is advertising God. Everybody is selling.

I don't know which will go first - rock 'n' roll or Christianity.
