The way I look at it is that once you create a piece of art, and it's out in the world, there's nothing you can do about it. People can use it the way they want to. There's nothing you can do about it. All you can hope for is that people that are using it are using it with the best intent. ~David Lloyd

I was asked the other day if I would be interested in the Nobel Prize, but I think that for me it would be an absolute catastrophe.

The only thing I really regret in life is not having a daughter. ~Gabriel Garcia Marquez

#quotes #bernard-l-schwartz #entrepreneurship #ceo #success
