Famous quotes containing the words top, ten, money, making and/or stars:

    You shouldn’t be looking at the bottom of the mountain. Why don’t you try looking at the top some time?
    Robert Riskin (1897–1955)

    I can’t stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succession, let alone two years or ten years. If you can, then it ain’t music, it’s close-order drill or exercise or yodeling or something, not music.
    Billie Holiday (1915–1959)

    I am unbalanced but I am not mad with snow.
    I am mad the way young girls are mad,
    with an offering, an offering . . .
    I burn the way money burns.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Executives are like joggers. If you stop a jogger, he goes on running on the spot. If you drag an executive away from his business, he goes on running on the spot, pawing the ground, talking business. He never stops hurtling onwards, making decisions and executing them.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    Then, that no region of the universe
    Should remain void of life, the floor of heaven
    Was peopled with the stars and godlike forms,
    The seas became the abode of glittering fish.
    Earth took the beasts and mobile air the birds.
    A holier animal was wanting.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
