A library in the middle of a community is a cross between an emergency exit, a life raft and a festival. — Caitlin Moran

It's too specific. I like going somewhere that specializes in variety. — Michael Showalter

There's a lot of different wheels to be greased. — Michael Uslan

There is no good scientific reason to bring back an extinct species. Why would one bring them back? To put them in a theme park? — Hendrik Poinar

I really am just trying to tell stories. But stories are often grounded in larger events and themes.

I haven't written a novel or something that long, because I really am improvising all along and the story is growing new limbs to do what it needs to do. So there's very little planning. There's a little planning where I say, "Well, it looks like I'm going in this direction, ok, good." But there's very little forethought or intellectual justification: "Oh, look, I'm putting in a theme park because that represents dystopian America!" — George Saunders

Summer is the sweet spot of the movie-going season -- and it's also peak season for Six Flags theme parks. — Mark Shapiro

I think that if you can continue to have the child at heart you may grow old physically but you will stay young mentally. — John Barrowman

It seems that every movie is a remake of something that was better when it was first released in a foreign language, as a 1960s TV show, or even as a comic book.

And before long there will be no more milk in bottles delivered to the doorstep or sleepy rural pubs, and the countryside will be mostly shopping centers and theme parks. Forgive me. I don't mean to get upset. But you are taking my world away from me, piece by little piece, and sometimes it just pisses me off. Sorry. — Bill Bryson
