An Injured Lion Still Wants to Roar. “Under the ruse of giving an academic lecture, I
was trying to put myself in a bottle that would one day wash up on the beach for my children. I were a painter, I would have painted for them. If I were a musician, I would have composed music. But I am a lecturer. So I lectured.”
“I had come to see it as the last moment of my career, as a way to say goodbye to my work-family.”
“We can't change the cards we're dealt, just how we play the hand.”

Being a Disney Imagineer “The brick walls are there for a reason. The
brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.”
“No one is pure evil. Find the best in everybody. Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress you.”- Jon Snoddy
