“I just make what I like - warm and human stories, ones about historic characters and events, and about animals. If there is a secret, I guess it's that I never make the pictures too childish, but always try to get in a little satire of adult foibles.” IfsTryingHumansLittlesCharacterStoriesAnimalSecretEventsGreatnessAdultsWarmSatireHistoricFoibles Book:Walt Disney: Conversations Source: Walt Disney: Conversations

“Nature, at all events, humanly speaking, is manifestly very fond of color; for she has made nothing without it. Her skies are blue; her fields, green; her waters vary with her skies; her animals, vegetables, minerals, are all colored.

“The line that I am urging as today's conventional wisdom is not a denial of consciousness. It is often called, with more reason, arepudiation of mind. It is indeed a repudiation of mind as a second substance, over and above body. It can be described less harshly as an identification of mind with some of the faculties, states, and activities of the body. Mental states and events are a special subclass of the states and events of the human or animal body.” MindHumansStatesReasonBodyTodayLinesAnimalConsciousnessSpecialEventsActivityDenialSubstanceMaterialismFacultyConventionalIdentificationConventional Wisdom Author:Willard Van Orman Quine
“To divine the course of world events, you'd do as well to probe the entrails of dead animals. Better still, ask your hairstylist.
