“RIP Lee Iacocca..His autobiography taught my MBA batch reading... I still remember on very first day of our Director Mr. Syamal Ram Kishore spoke about the legendary Lee... and most of us knew only about "Bruce Lee" and a few of comic bugs knew of "Stan Lee" but this man had "Lee" as his first name.. So he forced us to read it.. Was wonderful experience... Whatta man, creator and influence.... "Lee Iacocca"... Not to Forget his "MUSTANG”

“Rip Torn thought I was being a wise guy, and one afternoon he got pretty angry with me after telling me to do something and he thought I was pretending like I didn't know what he meant.But he was very frustrated. He was very frustrated as a director in trying to get his little theater group going. It was called The Sanctuary Theater Workshop, I think, and he wanted to do these classical plays by people like August Strindberg, and he was fighting hard to get his show up and be good and be professional.”

“Rip Van Winkle would be the ideal stock market investor: Rip could invest in the market before his nap and when he woke up 20 years later, he'd be happy. He would have been asleep through all the ups and downs in between. But few investors resemble Mr. Van Winkle. The more often an investor counts his money - or looks at the value of his mutual funds in the newspaper - the lower his risk tolerance.”

“Ripe vegetables were magic to me. Unharvested, the garden bristled with possibility. I would quicken at the sight of a ripe tomato, sounding its redness from deep amidst the undifferentiated green. To lift a bean plant's hood of heartshaped leaves and discover a clutch of long slender pods handing underneath could make me catch my breath.”

“Ripetete una bugia cento, mille, un milione di volte, e diventerà una verità», pare dicesse il ministro della propaganda Joseph Goebbels quando illustrava, come uno chef orgoglioso della propria ricetta, la lista degli ingredienti per una efficace informazione totalitaria. Ricetta applicabile anche oggi, tanto più che i supporti su cui può correre una notizia, vera o falsa che sia, sono infinitamente più veloci di quelli dei tempi del ministro della propaganda del Reich. Così veloci che l’eventuale lavoro di ricerca e smentita risulta inutile, superato dalla velocità di immissione di sempre nuove bugie nel sistema. Smontare una bufala quando la gente già parla d’altro è inutile: una battaglia persa, o comunque a perdere.”

“Ripped Jeans & Twenty Dollar Shirt (The Sonnet) Ripped jeans and twenty dollar shirt, That's how we'll change the world. It is okay if your outside is dirty, Make sure your heart is without dirt. Too many people wear suits and boots, In order to cover up the filth within. Those who have their character intact, Care not whether their clothes are shinin'. The world needs purpose, integrity, honor, None of which is predicated on clothes. Those who think clothes make the person, Will never discover any of the civilized roads. Heart makes the person, heart makes the world. A world without dirt comes from a heart without dirt.”

“Rir de si quando se é distraído ou desastrado é uma coisa, mas por que raios ei deveria rir da minha pele ou do meu cabelo, como se fosse um defeito, em vez de partes lindas que me compõem? Por acaso ser negra é defeito? No olhar racista, é. Então, para ser aceita por ele, eu preciso rir daquilo que o incomoda, associar meu cabelo a produtos de limpeza, por exemplo.”
