"A good artist should be isolated. If he isn’t isolated, something is wrong." ― Orson Welles Topic(s): Good More From Orson Welles "A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet." "Race hate isn’t human nature; race hate is the abandonment of human nature." "I do not suppose I shall be remembered for anything. But I don’t think about my work in those terms. It is just as vulgar to work for the sake of posterity as to work for the sake of money." More In Good "Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force."― Irving Berlin "Everything I’ve done in my career is a result of growing up in rural Oklahoma, because if I hadn’t had the training from Mama and Daddy to work hard, to do what I’m told, to take directions, to mind and to do a good job at anything I set out to do, then I wouldn’t be where I am today."― Reba McEntire "The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life."― Jane Addams
