Paul Newman
“I check my pulse
and if I can find it, I know I’ve got a chance”
"Now
then, if we were to go the lowest road and plaster my face on the bottle of oil
and vinegar dressing just to line our pockets, it would sink. But to go the low
road to get to the high road- shameless exploitation for charity, for the
common good- now that's an idea worth the hustle, a reciprocal trade
agreement."
“I don't like to discuss my marriage, but I will tell you
something which may sound corny but which happens to be true. I have steak at
home. Why should I go out for hamburger?”
"Joanne has always given me unconditional support in all
my choices and endeavors, and that includes my race car driving, which she
deplores. To me, that's love."
"If you're playing a poker game and you look around the
table and can't tell who the sucker is, it's you."
"We
are such spendthrifts with our lives. The trick of living is to slip on and off
the planet with as little fuss as you can muster. I'm not running for
sainthood. I just happen to think that in life we need to be a little like the
farmer, who puts back into the soil what he takes out".
“I don’t think
there’s anything exceptional or noble in being philanthropic. It’s the other
attitude that confuses me.”
“It's been a privilege to be here.”
the privilege was all ours mr. newman
