“Isn't everyone a part of everyone else?”
Budd Schulberg

“They looked at each other until they weren't acquaintances any longer.”
Budd Schulberg, What Makes Sammy Run?: A Novel

“I’d like to be remembered as someone who used their ability as a novelist or as a dramatist to say the things he felt needed to be said about the society while being as entertaining as possible. Because if you don’t entertain, nobody’s listening.”
Budd Schulberg
