Knowledge is Valuable

Knowledge is Valuable

“He could hang on to anybody. Anybody that he felt he could get something out of - not money-wise or material-wise. He felt that any knowledge he could gain from anybody was valuable. As a matter of fact his time was valuable. He seemed to be in a hurry about something. I don’t know what. Maybe a feeling that he wasn’t going to live very long.” - Peter L. Winkler

Variety Of Interests

“He was an attentive listener and had a tenacious memory. He picked up a great deal from the people with whom he was associating, and he made it a point to study in detail any subjects discussed which were unfamiliar to him. In an amazingly short time he became well-versed in the subjects of modern art, contemporary literature, and progressive classical music.” - Peter L. Winkler

JAMES DEAN

“I studied violin, played in concerts, tap-danced on theatre stages but most of all I like art, to mold and create things with my hands.”

”I think my life will be devoted to art and dramatics.”

”As one strives to make a goal in a game there should be a goal in this crazy world for each of us.”

”I believe in freedom, not God. If you want to call freedom God, then you can say I believe in God, but I say I believe in freedom.”

”Discoveries can be inside the person.”
