Pic of the Day: “Mr. Hart, here’s a dime. Call your mother, and tell her there is serious doubt about you becoming a lawyer.” “You… are a son of a bitch, Kingsfield!” “Mr. Hart! That is the most intelligent thing you’ve said today. You may take your seat.” (50th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Do you know that when I dream, I don’t have, I’m not in the chair? I don’t even have a chair in my dream. I have legs. When I was a kid, I used to jump in my mother’s kitchen and touch the ceiling. She used to get pissed off because I’d leave my handprints on the ceiling, you know. I still check the snow reports, the conditions at Mammoth. I’m still the same person. It’s funny, people look at me and they see something else; but, they don’t see who I am.” (45th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: ♫ “I was born in a crossfire hurricane / And I howled at my ma in the drivin’ rain / But it’s all right now / In fact, it’s a gas / But it’s all right / I’m Jumpin’ Jack Flash / It’s a gas, gas, gas.” ♫ (15th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: ♫ “Please allow me to introduce myself / I’m a man of wealth and taste / I’ve been around for a long, long year / Stole many a man’s soul and faith / I was ’round when Jesus Christ / Had his moment of doubt and pain / Made damn sure that Pilate / Washed his hands and sealed his fate / Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name / But what’s puzzling you is the nature of my game.” ♫ (55th Anniversary)


Image

Pic of the Day: “The trouble about being on the side of right, as one sees it, is that one often finds oneself in the company of such very questionable allies.” (65th Anniversary)


Image

Pic of the Day: ♫ “They say ev’rything can be replaced / Yet ev’ry distance is not near / So I remember ev’ry face / Of ev’ry man who put me here / I see my light come shining / From the west unto the east / Any day now, any day now / I shall be released.” ♫ (45th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “And so he told me his secret formula for happiness. Part one of the two-part plan was that I should just get on with ordinary life, living it day by day, like anyone else. But then came part two of Dad’s plan. He told me to live every day again almost exactly the same. The first time with all the tensions and worries that stop us noticing how sweet the world can be, but the second time noticing.” (10th Anniversary)

Image

Pic of the Day: “I don’t know. Part of me thinks the kid’s right. He asks what he’s done to deserve this. He wants to stay here, fine. Let’s leave him and go home. But then another part of me thinks, what if by some miracle we stay, then actually make it out of here. Someday we might look back on this and decide that saving Private Ryan was the one decent thing we were able to pull out of this whole godawful, shitty mess. Like you said, Captain, maybe we do that, we all earn the right to go home.” (25th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “When I was a boy, I used to, uh… I used to read all about Edison and the Wright brothers, Mr. Ford… they were my heroes. Rags to riches, that’s not just the name of a book, that’s what this country was all about. We invented the free enterprise system, where anybody, no matter who he was, where he came from, what class he belonged to… If he came up with a better idea, about ANYTHING, there’s no limit to how far he could go. I grew up a generation too late, I guess, because now the way the system works, the loner, the dreamer, the crackpot who comes up with some crazy that everybody laughs at, that later turns out to REVOLUTIONIZE THE WORLD, he’s squashed from above before he even gets his head out of the water. Because the bureaucrats, they’d rather kill a new idea than let it rock the boat! If Benjamin Franklin were alive today, he’d be thrown in jail for sailing a kite without a license! It’s true! We’re all puffed up with ourselves now because we invented the bomb. Dropped the… beat the daylights out of the Japanese, the Nazis. But if Big Business closes the door on the little guy with a new idea, we’re not only closing the door on progress, but we’re sabotaging everything that we fought for! Everything that the country stands for! And one day we’re gonna find ourselves at the bottom of the heap, instead of king of the hill, having no idea how we got there, buying our radios and our cars from our former enemies! I don’t believe that’s gonna happen. I can’t believe it, because… if I ever, stop believing in plain old common horse-sense of the American people, there’s no way I could get out of bed in the morning.” (35th Anniversary)
