—Warren Beatty (b. 1937)
“We’re the victims of a disease called social prejudice, my child. These dear ladies of the law and order league are scouring out the dregs of the town. C’mon be a glorified wreck like me.”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
“I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
