Ernest Bramah

Teri Garr

Wilhelm Ostwald
Pity? You don't want to be pitied because you're a cripple in a wheelchair? Stay in your house!
Jerry Lewis
Poverty is a solved problem - all they have to do is abolish taxes and regulations which cripple those intelligent, capable, and responsible men and women and destroy their productive capacity, then stand back and watch the economy boom.
L. Neil Smith

Jim Morrison
