The least thing upset him on the links. He missed short putts because of the uproar of the butterflies in the adjoining meadows. P. G. Wodehouse
The long time to come when I shall not exist has more effect on me than this short present time, which nevertheless seems endless. Cicero
The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness. Virginia Woolf
The music rights at the time cost me $12,000 in 1964 money, which is about double now or whatever. But I cleared everything. I had a lawyer in New York. And it was cleared for use in a short subject, not a feature. Kenneth Anger
