Famous Quotes & Sayings

Whitney Cummings

I remember my agent at ICM at the beginning of my career telling me that I wasn't pretty enough, that I was always going to be a quirky sidekick. And he was an ogre of a man. He should have been carrying a torch. If he was in a bar, he couldn't have come near me, and then he was deciding my fate.

It implies thought and choice and power; it can elect between objects, indifferent in point of morality, neither morally good nor morally evil.
