Philip Michael Thomas's Quotes

  • "I've become greened, like money. I respect the position. I'm enthusiastic, as opposed to excited. Enthusiasm comes from the Greek entheos, which means "God-inspired"...I recommend fame, but with fortune. Otherwise, it's a bitch." (Playboy 1985)
  • Look deep into the mirror of your soul and discover a wonderful truth, the greatest book you'll ever know is written and lived by you.
  • Good life is like good music. There are rests and pauses and melody and rhythm and lyric and reason and rhyme and love that last for all time. Music and all that it possesses is a multi-dimensional life itself. Not just a trip, but a round trip.
  • Once you get to the mountain top that's where you really begin to climb.
  • Some people never live a day in a lifetime. I live a lifetime in a day.
