Alan Friedman
“Production grew last year from 3.5 million carats to 7 million carats and we expect some 10 million carats by December of this year.”
Sebastiao Panzo
“I was raised almost entirely on turnips and potatoes, but I think that the turnips had more to do with the effect than the potatoes.”
Marlene Dietrich

Aristotle
