SAM GOLDWYN ON DEATH AND OTHER MATTERS

On death, real and imagined

  • The scene is dull. Tell him to put more life into his dying.
  • The reason so many people turned up at his funeral is that they wanted to make sure he was dead.
  • I don’t think anyone should write their autobiography until after they’re dead.
  • If I could drop dead right now, I’d be the happiest man alive.

Deep, high philosophy to live by

  • I never put on a pair of shoes until I’ve worn them at least five years.
  • I never liked you, and I always will.
  • A bachelor’s life is no life for a single man.
  • If you fall and break your legs, don’t come running to me.
  • You’ve got to take the bitter with the sour.
