US screenwriter and wit

• "Money is the only substance which can keep a cold world from nicknaming a citizen'Hey, you!'"
• "I respect faith, but doubt is what gets you an education."
• "When you take stuff from one writer it's plagiarism; but when you take it from many writers, it's research."
• "A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but awhile he knows something."
• "The worst-tempered people I've ever met were the people who knew they were wrong."
