• I hate the way people use slide presentations instead of thinking. People would confront a problem by creating a presentation. I wanted them to engage, to hash things out at the table, rather than show a bunch of slides. People who know what they're talking about don't need PowerPoint.

• Getting ahead in a difficult profession - singing, acting, writing, whatever requires avid faith in yourself. You must be able to sustain yourself against staggering blows and unfair reversals.

• The photographic enthusiast likes to lure us into a darkened room in order to display his slides on a silver screen. Aided by the adaptability of the eye and by the borrowed light from the intense projector bulb, he can achieve those relationships in brightness that will make us dutifully admire the wonderful autumn tints he photographed on his latest trip. As soon as we look at a print of these photographs by day, the light seems to go out of them. It is one of the miracles of art that the same does not happen there.

• Si la política americana no te parece una broma, un baile trágico; si te queda suficiente ceguera, con cualquier alegato, con cualquier excusa, para votar al Partido Demócrata o al Partido Republicano (porque en la actualidad máquina y partido son uno), o a cualquier candidato que no represente una nueva era, -- entonces tú mismo pasas a la diapositiva de la linterna mágica; eres una exhibición, un producto pintoresco, una curiosidad del suelo americano. Usted es parte del problema.

• You know the Model of your Car. You know just what its powers are. You treat it with a deal of care, Nor tax it more than it will bear. But as to self — that's different. Your mechanism may be bent, Your carbureter gone to grass, Your engine just a rusty mass. Your wheels may wobble and your cogs Be handed over to the dogs, And on you skip, and skid, and slide, Without a thought of things inside. What fools indeed we mortals are To lavish care upon a Car, With ne'er a bit of time to see About our own machinery!

  John Kendrick Bangs

• Guests stay where you've put them, and carry on doing whatever you suggested they do, until you suggest they stop and do something else.
