Fyodor Dostoevsky

'Eyes Wide Open' took shape from two real life events straight from my own past. One was the sad suicide of my young nephew, a troubled kid, who was found at the bottom of a landmark cliff in central California. The second was a chance encounter forty years ago with none other than, ahem, Charles Manson! Andrew Gross

I've led this empty life for over forty years and now I can pass that heritage on and ensure that the misery will continue for at least one more generation. Larry David
Stendhal quote: "It is the nobility of their style which will make our writers..."
It is the nobility of their style which will make our writers of 1840 unreadable forty years from now. Stendhal
For more than forty years, the United States Congress has shamelessly used payroll taxes intended for Social Security to fund big government spending. Mike Pence
