“Disneyland is something that will never be finished. It's something that I can keep developing. It will be a live, breathing thing that will need change.”

Walt Disney (1901–1966) American film producer and businessman

As quoted in "The Rides of Passage" in Via magazine (July 2005)
Context: Disneyland is something that will never be finished. It's something that I can keep developing. It will be a live, breathing thing that will need change. A picture is a thing, once you wrap it up and turn it over to Technicolor, you're through. Snow White is a dead issue with me. But I can change the park, because it's alive.

“We all only live once. So we are obligated to make good use of the time that we have and to do something that is meaningful and satisfying. This is something that I find meaningful and satisfying. That is my temperament. I enjoy creating systems on a grand scale, and I enjoy helping people who are vulnerable. And I enjoy crushing bastards.”

Julian Assange (1971) Australian editor, activist, publisher and journalist
