Frankly, I do not like the idea of conversations to define the term "unconditional surrender." ... The German people can have dinn...ed into their ears what I said in my Christmas Eve speech--in effect, that we have no thought of destroying the German people and that we want them to live through the generations like other European peoples on condition, of course, that they get rid of their present philosophy of conquest.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

I used to like this town.... Los Angeles was just a big dry sunny place with ugly homes and no style, but good-hearted and peacefu...l.... Now ... we've got the big money, the sharpshooters, the percentage workers, the fast dollar boys, the hoodlums out of New York and Chicago and Detroit--and Cleveland. We've got the flash restaurants and night clubs they run, and the hotels and apartment houses they own, and the grifters and con men and female bandits that live in them. The luxury trades, the pansy decorators, the Lesbian dress designers, the riff-raff of a big hardboiled city with no more personality than a paper cup.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The parent who loves his child dearly but asks for nothing in return might qualify as a saint, but he will not qualify as a parent.... For a child who can claim love without meeting any of the obligations of love will be a self-centered child and many such children have grown up in our time to become petulant lovers and sullen marriage partners because the promise of unconditional love has not been fulfilled.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Why don't you take a good look at yourself! What do you see?! A doctor, a scientist, a businessman? You see a scar-faced ex- con, ...a two-bit safecracker, a petty thief who don't know when he made the big time. Where do you come off to blast her! No matter what she's been, what she's done. She's a giant! And you wanna know why? Well, I'll tell ya. Because she sees something in you worth saving. If only one tenth of one percent of all the good in her could rub off on you, you'd be a giant too! But you're a midget! In your head, in your heart, in your whole makeup! You're a midget!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
She [Mae West] supplied much of her own dialogue and delivered it with enough eyeball-rolling suggestiveness to disguise the fact ...that she didn't really look very sexy, she just sounded it. Her style was innuendo con brio. Garbo's sensual appeal was based on the assumption that her personality was a castle with no drawbridge; a successful suitor would have to climb the ivy. With Mae West there was a highway to the front door.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Compared with men, it is probable that brutes neither attend to abstract characters, nor have associations by similarity. Their th...oughts probably pass from one concrete object to its habitual concrete successor far more uniformly than is the case with us. In other words, their associations of ideas are almost exclusively by contiguity. So far, however, as any brute might think by abstract characters instead of by association of con cretes, he would have to be admitted to be a reasoner in the true human sense. How far this may take place is quite uncertain.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
