“Why is it that, as we grow older, we are so reluctant to change? It is not so much that new ideas are painful, for they are not. It is that old ideas are seldom entirely false, but have truth, great truth in them.

Dale E. Turner

Carl Laundrie
“I think Paul and I are probably alike in that we're reluctant to talk about something that is not real yet, but we are talking about it.”
Robert Redford
