This Week's Quotations:

Mel Brooks

Our local theater company just did "The Producers." I laughed till I cryed more than once! One of the few to have won an Oscar, an Emmy, a Tony, and a Grammy, Mel Brooks is an American writer, comedian, actor and producer. The American Film Institute has listed three Brooks films, ‘Blazing Saddles’, ‘The Producers’, and ‘Young Frankenstein’, among the funniest of all American films. He recently updated and produced his original 1968 film, ‘The Producers’, on Broadway. Starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, it earned 12 Tony’s. In 2005, he wrote the screenplay for the 2nd movie version based on the Broadway show, which starred Will Ferrell, Uma Thurman, and once again, Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick.

“If you can fail between the ages of twenty and thirty, it’s fabulous. Too much early success and the rest of your life becomes a measure of repeating it. If they had praised ‘The Potato Eater’', Van Gogh never would have painted ‘The Starry Night’.”

- Mel Brooks  (1926-)

.

“Bad taste is simply saying the truth before it should be said.”

- Mel Brooks  (1926-)

.

“Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you’ve got to flap your arms and legs, you’ve got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive.”

- Mel Brooks  (1926-)

This quote by George Burns is as true today as when he first said it.

“Too bad the only people who know how to run the country are busy driving cabs and cutting hair.”

- George Burns (1896-1996)

The author of “Catch 22” promoted privatization…

I’d like to see the government get out of war altogether and leave the whole thing to private industry.

- Joseph Heller (1923-1999)

Former President Nixon comments on civil liberties...

"I would not like to be a political leader in Russia. They never know when they are being taped."

- Richard Nixon (1913-1994)

This Mark Twain 'Father's Day' quote is one of my favorites...

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in 7 years.”

- Mark Twain (1835-1910)

The True Nature of Life... And some days are truer than we wish!

“It is not true that life is one damn thing after another – it’s one damn thing over and over.”

- Edna St. Vincent Millay

Honesty That May Have Gone Too Far

"Please accept my resignation. I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member"

- Groucho Marx  (1895-1977)
