While Europe's eye is fix'd on mighty things,
The fate of empires and the fall of kings;
While quacks of State must each produce his plan,
And even children lisp the Rights of Man;
Amid this mighty fuss just let me mention,
The Rights of Woman merit some attention.
-- Robert Burns,
Address on "The Rights of Woman", November 26, 1792

While he was in New York on location for _Bronco Billy_ (1980), Clint
Eastwood agreed to a television interview. His host, somewhat hostile,
began by defining a Clint Eastwood picture as a violent, ruthless,
lawless, and bloody piece of mayhem, and then asked Eastwood himself to
define a Clint Eastwood picture. "To me," said Eastwood calmly, "what
a Clint Eastwood picture is, is one that I'm in."
-- Boller and Davis, "Hollywood Anecdotes"
