Graydon Carter Quotes

Arrogance, ignorance, and incompetence. Not a pretty cocktail of personality traits in the best of situations. No sirree. Not a pretty cocktail in an office-mate and not a pretty cocktail in a head of state. In fact, in a leader, it’s a lethal cocktail Picture Quote #1

Where past generations had film cameras, scrapbooks, notebooks, and that part of the brain which stores memories, we now have a smartphone app for every conceivable recording need. The thing is, all that time you spend logging and then curating the quotidian aspects of your daily life is time taken away from actually doing things Picture Quote #1

Every minute you invest in kids you get back four times over Picture Quote #1

History is nothing if not an epic tale of missed opportunities Picture Quote #1

I think the movie business is in trouble. It’s all movies that you’ve seen before. Everything’s a remake; they want things that are familiar rather than things that surprise you Picture Quote #1

You know, I used to warm the thermometer on the light bulb... I was really good at being sick. I could forge my mother’s signature on a sick note so well I was hardly ever at school Picture Quote #1

I try to look after the really small things and the really big things, and delegate the stuff in between Picture Quote #1
