I'm old, I'm young, I'm intelligent, I'm stupid. My tide goes in and out. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
Like the good Reverend King
I too 'have a dream'
but when I wake up
I forget it and
remember I'm running late for work. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
If he was indeed an "autodidact," there's no doubt he had the world's shittiest teacher. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
I can't say that I love writing, but I do love the satisfaction that it gives me. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
Yes, being black is a full-time job: sometimes you are invisible, other times you are hyper-visible," he says. "Sometimes you are welcome, other times you are not. The thermostat is always moving and you have to keep adapting to find some comfort level. Richard Pryor used to talk about going to Africa and people there telling him he was white. Even though he was black, he just wasn't black enough. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
Then his fingers trembled on her ankle - tightened around her foot. His head shifted, turning toward her. With a growl, she crashed the poker down onto his head. His hand jerked. A gurgling noise arose, not from his throat but from his chest, from deep down, as if he were fighting for something. Struggling. His eyes shifted toward her. Joan raised the poker again. The gurgling stopped - not abruptly but in a final, lingering, prolonged, exhalation of breath. His lungs gradually expelled every last atom of oxygen. ~ Cate Campbell Beatty
Beatty quotes by Cate Campbell Beatty
Today a Scot is leading a British army in France [Field Marshall Douglas Haig], another is commanding the British Grand Fleet at sea [Admiral David Beatty], while a third directs the Imperial General Staff at home [Sir William Roberton]. The Lord Chancellor is a Scot [Viscount Finlay]; so are the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Foreign Secretary [Bonar Law and Arthur Balfour]. The Prime Minister is a Welshman [David Lloyd George], and the First Lord of the Admiralty is an Irishman [Lord Carson]. Yet no one has ever brought in a bill to give home rule to England! ~ John Hay Beith
Beatty quotes by John Hay Beith
I'd rather be judged by twelve than carried by six. It's a maxim, an oft-repeated rap lyric, a last-ditch rock and hard place algorithm that on the surface is about faith in the system but in reality means shoot first, put your trust in the public defender, and be thankful you still have your health. I ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
There are many men who deserve to die, but they live. I can't see the end, the purpose. Even wise men can't. We can put a barrier, a wall, around ourselves, but try as we might, we can't keep the world out. ~ Cate Campbell Beatty
Beatty quotes by Cate Campbell Beatty
For me, the highest level of sexual excitement is in a monogamous relationship. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
The air delighted her nose - fresher and crisper compared to the air in the grimy ghetto, even better than in the city. She rubbed her chest where the dart had hit. Her heart beat powerfully inside her - fueled by fear. It felt as if it would burst, and she mentally tried to slow it down. Strange, she thought, these may be some of its last beats in her chest. Was that why it beat so fiercely? ~ Cate Campbell Beatty
Beatty quotes by Cate Campbell Beatty
Because I knew that racist Negro Archetypes, like Bebe's Kids, don't die. They multiply. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
My first ideas of human in vitro fertilization (IVF) arose with my Ph.D. in Edinburgh University in the early 1950s. Supervised by Alan Beatty, my research was based on his work on altering chromosomal complements in mouse embryos. ~ Robert Edwards
Beatty quotes by Robert Edwards
With that Nox turned a knob. There was a delay, but that was how the machine worked. First it gathered information about the subject, feeling, sensing - like a fighter in a ring, circling his opponent.
Kaleb sensed it, too. It was as if a doctor palpated his flesh, pushing his skin. It tingled gently. The tingling surged through his whole body. Was this it? Kaleb thought. Visions from his past shot through his brain. His mother. Father. Zenobia. Joan and Reck. The Three Musketeers. Pleasant memories.
Then the machine found what it searched for, and it acted. Waves of pain shot through his entire body, causing him to arch his back. He screamed in agony, his screams reverberating across the canyon. Then all of his muscles constricted. He couldn't breathe, couldn't even scream. It seemed to last forever. It stopped, and his muscles relaxed, allowing him to breath. ~ Cate Campbell Beatty
Beatty quotes by Cate Campbell Beatty
Don't tell me Kinshasa, the poorest city in the poorest country in the world, a place where the average per capita income is one goat bell, two bootleg Michael Jackson cassette tapes, and three sips of potable water per year, thinks we're too poor to associate with. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
I want to see the writers strike because the writers, god bless them, are the only true commies we have in Hollywood. ~ Ned Beatty
Beatty quotes by Ned Beatty
And the success of the union movement, historically, has always been to benefit all working men and women - not just people who belong to the union. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
It always impresses me when a person of small stature has command. ~ Ned Beatty
Beatty quotes by Ned Beatty
We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal, as the Constitution says, but everyone made equal. Each man the image of every other; then all are happy, for there are no mountains to make them cower, to judge themselves against. ~ Ray Bradbury
Beatty quotes by Ray Bradbury
I missed my father driving us back from the Pomona State Fair, elbowing me awake, the Dodger postgame on the radio as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes just in time to see that sign, DICKENS-NEXT EXIT, and know I was home. Shit, I missed that sign. And what are cities really, besides signs and arbitrary boundaries? ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
At the zoo, I stood in front of the primate cage listening to a woman marvel at how "presidential" the four-hundred-pound gorilla looked sitting astride a shorn oaken limb, keeping a watchful eye over his caged brood. When her boyfriend, his finger tapping the informational placard, pointed out the "presidential" silverback's name coincidentally was Baraka, the woman laughed aloud, until she saw me, the other four-hundred-pound gorilla in the room, stuffing something that might have been the last of a Big Stick Popsicle or a Chiquita banana in my mouth. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
I don't know what to do with Warren Beatty. All I know is that he wasn't attracted to me. That's all right. ~ Elaine Stritch
Beatty quotes by Elaine Stritch
The Beatties were always arguing, it gave them an interest in life ... ~ Elspeth Huxley
Beatty quotes by Elspeth Huxley
Women are a problem, but if you haven't already guessed, they are the kind of problem I enjoy wrestling with. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
And she knew that her fate wasn't set by how or where she was born, but the decisions she made and the battles she fought. It didn't matter if she had eight toes or ten, amber eyes or blue. What mattered was what she set out to do. ~ Robert Beatty
Beatty quotes by Robert Beatty
Like Nazis at a Ku Klux Klan rally, they were comfortable ideologically, but not in terms of corporate culture. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
The law isn't merciful. ~ Cate Campbell Beatty
Beatty quotes by Cate Campbell Beatty
The definition of a Schwarzenegger Republican is a Bush Republican who says he's a Schwarzenegger Republican. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
From that very first moment, with her looking up at that stairway that led from the darkness of the basement to the brightness of the world above, all she wanted to do was be part of something. That was all she ever wanted, not just to see, but to be seen. Not just to hear, but to be heard. Not just to feel, but to be felt by other people, to touch them, affect them in some way, to make their lives different, and to be made different by them. And here, on this night, at this moment, on this rooftop, she knew that time had finally come. ~ Robert Beatty
Beatty quotes by Robert  Beatty
My old boyfriend, Warren Beatty, used to say I was a late developer,' she reflects. 'He was right. It took me 50 years to find motherhood and unconditional love.' ~ Diane Keaton
Beatty quotes by Diane Keaton
Daddy never believed in closure. He said it was a false psychological concept. Something invented by therapists to assuage white Western guilt. In all his years of study and practice, he'd never heard a patient of color talk of needing "closure." They needed revenge. They needed distance. Forgiveness and a good lawyer maybe, but never closure. He said people mistake suicide, murder, lap band surgery, interracial marriage, and overtipping for closure, when in reality what they've achieved is erasure. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
I'm not going to call a dog "Dog." I suppose if she were a baby you'd cal her "Person." ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
Being here allows me to make the case that not all aging, narcissistic movie actors whose children could be mistaken for their grandchildren necessarily act with the same motivation. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
Look, dude, you've sampled your life, mixed those sounds with a funk precedent, and established a sixteen-bar system of government for the entire rhythm nation. Set the Dj up as the executive, the legislative, and judicial branches. I mean, after listening to your beat, anything I've heard on the pop radio in the last five years feels like a violation of my civil rights. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
Lenin said that people vote with their feet. Well, that's what's happening. They either go, or they don't go. It's all politics. It's all demographics. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
Foy was no Tree of Knowledge, at most he was a Bush of Opinion ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
When you mutilate movies for mass media, you tamper with the hearts and minds of America. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
I don't think you should talk while the movie was going on and say, 'Oh, look at that - look how smart I was' or 'What a brilliant shot that is!' I don't believe in that. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
The face that feigns acknowledgment that the better man got the promotion, even though deep down you and they both know that you really are the better man and that the best man is the woman on the second floor. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
It was not that donors had no loyalty to each other, but they were not ashamed to betray a fellow donor. In its wisdom the Alliance promulgated the moral rules - the main one being one's duty to the Alliance. The Alliance was sacred - all else secondary. But not all donors - or citizens - bought into that. Many knew in their hearts there was more to life. ~ Cate Campbell Beatty
Beatty quotes by Cate Campbell Beatty
And if an increasingly pluralistic America ever decides to commission a new motto, I'm open for business, because I've got a better one than E pluribus unum. Tu dormis, tu perdis ... You snooze, you lose. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
The bus here because they lost Rosa Parks's bus."

"Who lost Rosa Parks's bus?"

"White people. Who the fuck else? Supposedly, every February when schoolkids visit the Rosa Parks Museum, or wherever the fuck the bus is at, the bus they tell the kids is the birthplace of the civil rights movement is a phony. Just some old Birmingham city bus they found in some junkyard. That's what my sister says, anyway."

"I don't know."

Cuz took two deep swallows of gin. "What you mean, 'You don't know'? You think that after Rosa Parks bitch-slapped white America, some white rednecks going to go out of their way to save the original bus? That'd be like the Celtics hanging Magic Johnson's jersey in the rafters of the Boston Garden. No fucking way. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
Warren Beatty was one hell of a lover - but we fought like stray dogs ~ Leslie Caron
Beatty quotes by Leslie Caron
the "bystander effect": the more people around to provide help, the less likely one is to receive help. Dad hypothesized that this didn't apply to black people, a loving race whose very survival has been dependent on helping one another in times of need. So he made me stand on the busiest intersection in the neighborhood, dollar bills bursting from my pockets, the latest and shiniest electronic gadgetry jammed into my ear canals, a hip-hop heavy gold chain hanging from my neck, and, inexplicably, a set of custom-made carpeted Honda Civic floor mats draped over my forearm like a waiter's towel, and as tears streamed from my eyes, my own father mugged me. He ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
All this angst, all this stuff we all feel, is just tied to making art. It's so ancient. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
I think it's quite extraordinary that people cast me as if I'm Warren Beatty: until I met my present wife, at the age of 35, you could name two girlfriends. ~ Colin Firth
Beatty quotes by Colin Firth
No," Joan vowed. She grabbed Bash's shirt. "I don't want this. Didn't want this to happen."
Screams resonated.
Bash continued quietly, "None of us do. That's not up to us. We have to decide what we're going to do with what we're given. Play the cards dealt to us. ~ Cate Campbell Beatty
Beatty quotes by Cate Campbell Beatty
I understand now that the only time black people don't feel guilty is when we've actually done something wrong, because that relieves us of the cognitive dissonance of being black and innocent, and in a way the prospect of going to jail becomes a relief. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
I'm getting grumpier all the time. ~ Ned Beatty
Beatty quotes by Ned Beatty
I tried to read this book, Huckleberry Finn, to my grandchildren, but I couldn't get past page six because the book is fraught with the 'n-word'. And although they are the deepest-thinking, combat-ready eight- and ten-year-olds I know, I knew my babies weren't ready to comprehent Huckleberry Finn on its own merits. That's why I took the liberty to rewrite Mark Twain's masterpiece. Where re repugnant 'n-word' occurs, I replaced it with 'warrior' and the word 'slave' with 'dark-skinned volunteer'. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
Where does a spirit go? Where does the new world begin? Into the boughs of the trees? Into the stone of the earth? Into the flow of the river? Into the ether of the air? It passes from one person to another, each into the other. ~ Robert Beatty
Beatty quotes by Robert  Beatty
During the night a fine, delicate summer rain had washed the plains, leaving the morning sky crisp and clean. The sun shone warm - soon to bake the earth dry. It cast a purple haze across the plain - like a great, dark topaz. In the trees the birds sang, while the squirrels jumped from branch to branch in seeming good will, belying the expected tension of the coming days. ~ Cate Campbell Beatty
Beatty quotes by Cate Campbell Beatty
You'd rather have nothing than settle for less. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
I love movies. I adore movies. I grew up on Steve McQueen and Clint Eastwood and Warren Beatty. The list goes on. Spencer Tracy. I wanted to be in movies. ~ Pierce Brosnan
Beatty quotes by Pierce Brosnan
That's the problem with history, we like to think it's a book - that we can turn the page and move the fuck on. But history isn't the paper it's printed on. It's memory, and memory is time, emotions, and song. History is the things that stay with you. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
Sitting here on the steps of the Supreme Court smoking weed, under the "Equal Justice Under Law" motto, staring into the stars, I've finally figured out what's wrong with Washington, D.C. It's that all the buildings are more or less the same height and there's absolutely no skyline, save for the Washington Monument touching the night sky like a giant middle finger to the world. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
And although like most black males raised in Los Angeles, I'm bilingual only to the extent that I can sexually harass women of all ethnicities in their native languages, I understood the gist of the message. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
The wretched of the Earth, he calls us. People too poor to afford cable and too stupid to know that they aren't missing anything. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
I'll tell you," said Beatty, smiling at his cards. "That made you for a little while a drunkard. Read a few lines and off you go over the cliff. Bang, you're ready to blow up the world, chop off heads, knock down women and children, destroy authority. I know. I've been through it all. ~ Ray Bradbury
Beatty quotes by Ray Bradbury
Although Ronald Reagan was somebody I disagreed with on most ideological things, he was a friend of mine, and he was a very, very likable man. Ronald Reagan, for instance, was maybe more able to get the very rich to do the right thing sometimes. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
There are some people whom you have in life who have the capacity for real, passionate commitment to something, and sometimes you may be passionately committed to the same thing. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
We recognized the face he was wearing as a mask from our own collections. The happy mask we carry in our back pockets, and like bank robbers whip out when we want to steal some privacy or make an emotional getaway. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
She was a failure. That's what she thought. She had come to the forest to see the world, but all she found was wretchedness. ~ Robert Beatty
Beatty quotes by Robert Beatty
It's very clear you have to engage the public and say: You have to vote no on 74, no on 75, no on 76, no on 77. Those are the issues that Arnold pushing. And those are reactionary, Republican initiatives. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
During social studies, otherwise known as Dad's cirriculum as the Ways and Means of the Indefatigable White People, my father used to warn me about listening to rap or the blues with Caucasian strangers. And as I got older, I'd be admonished not to play Monopoly, drink more than two beers, or smoke weed with them either. For such activities can breed a false sense of familiarity . And nothing, from a hungry jungle cat to the African ferryboat, is more dangerous than a white person on what they think is familiar ground. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
Sometimes just making yourself at home is revolutionary. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
No one has, because even in this middle age, he's sensitive, and if you say the wrong thing, he'll show the world just how sensitive he is by crying at your funeral. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
He was less like a tree of knowledge and more like a bush of opinions." From the book "The Sellout ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
At least Lars was curious about the appeal of jazz to black folk; for most observers, such ponderation is akin to contemplating why gorillas like bananas. The attractiveness of jazz to the nonblack is well documented in publicly funded documentaries where experts speak of jazz in the past tense. They look authoritatively into the camera and ingratiate themselves with the Man by saying things like, "White people were hearing something in jazz that says something deeply about their experience. I'm not sure that it would have been this way if we were not a country of immigrants ... so many people felt kind of displaced ... I think that was part of its amazing appeal, was how it spoke to feeling out of sort and out of joint and maladjusted."
What hogwash. Does my fondness for classical music make me well adjusted? Besides, people who are really fucked up don't turn to jazz; they turn to heroin, opium, whiskey, and Vonnegut. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
Arnold has had his spokesman call me a crackpot. That was a mistake. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
When she finished, the white teacher, his face streaked with tears, tapped his boss on the shoulder, and like a television cop handing in his badge and gun, he solemnly removed the shiny new Teach for America button fastened to his sweater vest, placed it in Charisma's palm, and walked off into the squall. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
Motherfuckers from Harvard to Harlem respect the Pew Research Center, and hearing this, the concerned patrons turned around in their squeaky plastic seats as best they could, given that donut shop swivel chairs swivel only six degrees in either direction. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
She'd always had a hankering for sitting quietly in dark, confined spaces. ~ Robert Beatty
Beatty quotes by Robert Beatty
Mass killings have gone from being an extremely rare occurrence to a common occurrence. ~ Joyce Beatty
Beatty quotes by Joyce Beatty
Government is not show business. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
She was thinking about how her middle-school alma mater was now 75 percent Latino, when in her day it was 80 percent black. Thinking ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
The Golden Globes are fun. The Oscars are Business. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
My only complaints are two:
that I didn't make myself ready
for you sooner in life, that
I can't give you better,
Love you more. ~ Jan Beatty
Beatty quotes by Jan Beatty
I'm so fucking tired of black women always being described by their skin tones! Honey-colored this! Dark-chocolate that! My paternal grandmother was mocha-tinged, café-au-lait, graham-fucking-cracker brown! How come they never describe the white characters in relation to foodstuffs and hot liquids? Why aren't there any yogurt-colored, egg-shell-toned, string-cheese-skinned, low-fat-milk white protagonists in these racist, no-third-act-having books? That's why black literature sucks! ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
Bad movies: they can be tatty classics of crazed ineptitude, like Edward D. Wood's 'Glen or Glenda' and 'Plan 9 from Outer Space,' or big-budget misfires like the 1987 'Ishtar,' a would-be comedy that sent Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman on a Hope-Crosby Road to Dystopia. ~ Richard Corliss
Beatty quotes by Richard Corliss
[T]he Supreme Court is where the country takes out its dick and tits and decides who's going to get fucked and who's getting a taste of mother's milk. It's constitutional pornography in there[.] ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
Sometimes I wish Darth Vader had been my father. I'd have been better off. I wouldn't have a right hand, but I definitely wouldn't have the burden of being black and constantly having to decide when and if I gave a shit about it. Plus, I'm left-handed. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
I wasn't fed; I was presented with lukewarm appetitive stimuli. I wasn't punished, but broken of my unconditioned reflexes. I wasn't loved, but brought up in an atmosphere of calculated intimacy and intense levels of commitment. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
Man, didn't anybody ever tell you that art is propaganda? It doesn't matter whether you think it should be or it shouldn't be, it just is, and motherfucker, like or not, you're sitting on a funky Magna Carta. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
Tohr took a pull of his beer. "What the hell is this?"
"When Harry Met Sally."
Tohr lowered the longneck from his mouth. "What?"
"Shut it. After this, we're going to watch an episode of Moonlighting. Then An Affair to Remember - the old-school one, not that stupidity with Warren Beatty. Then The Princess Bride - "
Tohr hit the switch by his hip and straightened the chair up. "Okay. Right. Have fun with this - ~ J.R. Ward
Beatty quotes by J.R. Ward
And then the conditions of safety - or lack of safety - for teachers in public schools, and the disparity between public schools and private schools is shameful. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
To say that people would cease to come to California if they would have to pay more taxes is to underestimate the advantages of being in California - mightily. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
Never go into the deep parts of the forest, for there are many dangers there, both dark and bright, and they will ensnare your soul. ~ Robert Beatty
Beatty quotes by Robert Beatty
it is not an easy matter to change suddenly from the butterfly to the busy bee. ~ Laura Beatty
Beatty quotes by Laura Beatty
This is happening to me," said Montag.
"What a dreadful surprise," said Beatty. "For everyone nowadays knows, absolutely
is certain, that nothing will ever happen to me. Others die, I go on. There are no
consequences and no responsibilities. Except that there are. But let's not talk about
them, eh? By the time the consequences catch up with you, it's too late, isn't it,
Montag? ~ Ray Bradbury
Beatty quotes by Ray Bradbury
I don't try to be satirical. I just try to get what's in my head on the page. And that part is hard for me to do. It takes a long, long time to make it poetic, somewhat essayistic. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
I believe that DVD is that which gives some hope to retaining some content in movies that will appeal to an older audience or the more sophisticated audience or the audience that doesn't need or desire to see a movie on a Friday night. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
My litmus test of compatibility is 'Tom Cruise.' I hate people who hate Tom Cruise, cultural automatons who at the mention of his name reflexively bridle and say the diminutive thespian and Theta level Scientoligist is 'crazy' and 'a terrible actor'. They hate him because he's easy to hate. They think that despising Tom Cruise's lack of personality and supposed lack of talent is somehow a blow against the bland American Anschluss of the rest of the planet. Tom Cruise may indeed be the Christopher Columbus of the twentieth century, sent off by the kings of Hollywood to prove the new world of International Box Office isn't flat and to find a direct route into the Asian market, but the decline of everything isn't his fault; he's just a cinematic explorer and a damn fine actor. And hating him doesn't make you seditious- it makes you complicit. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
Warren Beatty once told me that if someone's really stuck on you, find them their next boyfriend. But I could never do that. ~ Val Kilmer
Beatty quotes by Val Kilmer
This may be hard to believe, coming from a black man, but I've never stolen anything. Never cheated on my taxes or at cards. Never snuck into the movies or failed to give back the extra change to a drugstore cashier indifferent to the ways of mercantilism and minimum-wage expectations. I've never burgled a house. Held up a liquor store. Never boarded a crowded bus or subway car, sat in a seat reserved for the elderly, pulled out my gigantic penis and masturbated to satisfaction with a perverted, yet somehow crestfallen, look on my face. But here I am, in the cavernous chambers of the Supreme Court of the United States of America, my car illegally and somewhat ironically parked on Constitution Avenue, my hands cuffed and crossed behind my back, my right to remain silent long since waived and said goodbye to as I sit in a thickly padded chair that, much like this country, isn't quite as comfortable as it looks. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
I'm convinced that Nabokov wrote his novels around words like agglutinate, siliceous, gardyloo, ophidian, triskelions. That he took an ESL course at a local night school and the teacher wrote those words on the blackboard and said, "Today's assignment is to take these words and use them in a first novel the New York Times will call 'Riveting, truly a classic for the ages. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
I can't do much, but I can do something, she thought, and if I can do even the smallest thing, then I am a powerful being. ~ Robert Beatty
Beatty quotes by Robert  Beatty
I don't know exactly what a black Chinese restaurant would be, but I would sure love to see one. ~ Paul Beatty
Beatty quotes by Paul Beatty
In a way, I'd rather ride down the street on a camel than give what is sometimes called an in-depth interview. I'd rather ride down the street on a camel nude. In a snowstorm. Backwards. ~ Warren Beatty
Beatty quotes by Warren Beatty
How can anybody hate nurses? Nobody hates nurses. The only time you hate a nurse is when they're giving you an enema. ~ Warren Beatty
