Famous quotes containing the word welles:

—Orson Welles (1915–1984)

“If there hadn’t been women we’d still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girl friends. And they tolerated it and let us go ahead and play with our toys.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)

“Only very intelligent people don’t wish they were in politics, and I’m dumb enough to want to be in there.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
