“Isn't everyone a part of everyone else?”
Budd Schulberg

“Work hard, and if you can't work hard, be smart; and, if you can't be smart, be loud.”
Budd Schulberg, What Makes Sammy Run?

“Most of us are ready to greet our worst enemies like long-lost brothers if we think they can show us a good time, if we think they can do us any good or if we even reach the conclusion that being polite will get us just as far and help us live longer.”
Budd Schulberg, What Makes Sammy Run?
