Famous quotes containing the words david and/or beatty:

    “The wildest dreams of wild men, even, are not the less true, though they may not recommend themselves to the sense which is most common among Englishmen and Americans to-day. It is not every truth that recommends itself to the common sense. Nature has a place for the wild clematis as well as for the cabbage. Some expressions of truth are reminiscent,—others merely sensible, as the phrase is,—others prophetic.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Those people upstairs think that Karl Marx was somebody who wrote a good anti-trust law.”
    —Warren Beatty (b. 1937)
