Lagi pula, kalau kita menikmati apa yang kita kerjakan, kemungkinanannya adalah apa pun yang kita lakukan, akan kita lakukan dengan baik.”

When Crystal asks him the secret of life, Palance holds up a forefinger, answers with a single word: "One." Choose one thing. Do it to the best of your ability. Let it go. Pick something else. Repeat endlessly.”
