“It took a couple of hundred million years to develop a thinking ape and you want a smart one in a lousy few hundred thousand?”

Spider Robinson (1948) Canadian author

God Is An Iron (1977)
Context: "It took a couple of hundred million years to develop a thinking ape and you want a smart one in a lousy few hundred thousand?

“I don't want to create a revolution — I just want to create a few more films.”

Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977) British comic actor and filmmaker

Context: I am not a political man and I have no political convictions. I am an individual and a believer in liberty. That is all the politics I have. On the other hand I am not a super-patriot. Super-patriotism leads to Hitlerism — and we've had our lesson there. I don't want to create a revolution — I just want to create a few more films.
