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

    “... when you make it a moral necessity for the young to dabble in all the subjects that the books on the top shelf are written about, you kill two very large birds with one stone: you satisfy precious curiosities, and you make them believe that they know as much about life as people who really know something. If college boys are solemnly advised to listen to lectures on prostitution, they will listen; and who is to blame if some time, in a less moral moment, they profit by their information?”
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

    “Oh, the army. Well I planted twenty-four gardens the first ten years of our marriage. Never stayed long enough to see a single bloom.”
    —Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

    “All money nowadays seems to be produced with a natural homing instinct for the Treasury.”
    —Prince Philip (b. 1921)

    “I see in you also there are movements, tremors, tears, desire for
    the melodious,
    I salute your three violinists, endlessly making vibrations,
    Rigid, relentless, capable of going on for ever;”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    “When the deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls, and the stars begin to flicker in the sky,”
    —Mitchell Parish (1901–1993)
