„Я никогда не держу в голове отвергнутые идеи. Это как копаться в мусорном ведре где-нибудь в третьесортном офисе. Я не запоминаю идеи, которые были убиты. Я запоминаю только те, которым позволили жить.“

“I refuse to be pessimistic. I don't believe in it. I hope that we can find a way to keep from destroying the earth.”

“Create turf, save water. Those are the two main principles. And, you know, keep everything alive. Maintain a game habitat. That's important so that you have an entire system at work. Cattle are going to do better, oddly enough, if the birds are doing good and the deer are doing good. You try to manage the whole thing.”

“It makes me feel like a very special person, that I'm able to make my living with my imagination. I developed a big respect for my calling while I was in school, and it remains with me to this day.”

“I'm really concerned about the quality of education in the United States. I think it's going down, and I don't think we spend enough money on it. It's unhealthy for our society that we remove ourselves more and more every day from books, from reading, from writing. All areas of education need more emphasis. I think we're a bit lazy here in America. I believe in the ideal of the classic liberal education, and I also think athletics are very important to the education of young people.”

“I'm one of those people who feels that agriculture is a creative act. It's a very fine art — that's the way I approach it.”
