“Interesting people inspire dreams, smiles and ideas.”

“There is no rest for the humble except in despising the great, whose only thought of the people is inspired by self-interest or sadism.”

“He smiled the most exquisite smile, veiled by memory, tinged by dreams.”

“As Justice Olive Wendell Holmes, Jr. put it, censorship rests on the idea that “every idea is an incitement.” Perhaps he should have specified “every interesting idea,” for a dull idea is not. By the same token, every interesting drug is an incitement. And so is everything else that people find interesting.”

“I regard the people as a great being, inspired by a single idea. This is my problem. I strove to solve it in this opera.”

“There's a huge difference between a good idea and a God-inspired idea.”

“A speckled bird, humbly inspired,
Ran across the road when it could have flown,
And it made me smile.”

“As you get older, you have to force yourself to have new dreams. For instance, I've been flying for 37 years, but now teaching others to fly is interesting for me. Sometimes you have to find new angles on life to keep you interested, like sharing successes and inspiring and helping others. ”

“You don’t return people’s smiles—it’s perfectly clear to you that people can smile and smile and still be villains.”

“When I saw you smile
I saw a dream come true”
