Charlton Heston quotes about
men hands tyrants
So that this nation may long endure, I urge you to follow in the hallowed footsteps of the great disobedience of history that freed exiles, founded religions, defeated tyrants, and yes, in the hands of an aroused rabble in arms and a few great men
hands looks noses
It's the camel's nose in the tent. Look at Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, Idi Amin--every one of these monsters, on seizing power, their first act was to confiscate all firearms in private hands...
gun men hands
There's no such thing as a good gun. There's no such thing as a bad gun. A gun in the hands of a bad man is a very dangerous thing. A gun in the hands of a good person is no danger to anyone except the bad guys.
thinking alcohol our-society
I think narcotics and alcohol, and even tobacco are enormously costly ingredients in our society.
art raw-materials film
Film is the only art form whose raw materials are so horrendously expensive that the artist cannot afford to buy them for himself.
thinking rocks rock-music
I don't think rock music has any positive function.

We don't think well of our presidents when they are serving. Even Kennedy, with such a short presidency, was beginning to lose his remarkable appeal to the American people when he was suddenly sainted by death.
people four efficiency
I've come to feel very strongly, not as a joke, that if you appoint a committee of more than four people, their efficiency starts to deteriorate.
eye thinking views
You have to be very careful to view yourself with a somewhat skeptical eye and to remember that you're not here taking down everything I'm saying because you think I'm such a marvelous fellow but because your editors say go get 1,200 words or whatever on Chuck Heston.
sex mechanic engaged
The physical mechanics of sex are pretty funny unless you are engaged in them. Then they are, of course, marvelous.
men moses proportion
To me Moses is all men grown to gigantic proportions.
mom rocks government
One of the [Million Mom] marchers said 'the hands that rock the cradle rule this nation.' I thought, 'no Madame, the hands that rock the cradle rule our families and governments and corporations. The hands that wrote the Constitution rule this nation'.
america world
To the world, you are America.
fit century 20th-century
I don't seem to fit really into the 20th Century
