“What is amazing about the story is that the most fantastic things that occur, that people most don't believe, are absolutely true”

Graham Moore (writer) (1981) screenwriter

“I believe in standardizing automobiles. I do not believe in standardizing human beings.”

Albert Einstein (1879–1955) German-born physicist and founder of the theory of relativity

To deprive every ethnic group of its special traditions is to convert the world into a huge Ford plant. I believe in standardizing automobiles. I do not believe in standardizing human beings. Standardization is a great peril which threatens American culture.
