Garson Kanin said, "George S. Kaufman ranks without peer as the wit of the American twentieth century. George`s comment, George`s cool-off, George`s swiftness to pick up the answer was breath-taking.... He was taciturn. He didn`t say much, but what he did say was stringent, always to the point, cutting, acid, true or true enough. Which was his great trick. His trick of wit and his trick of criticism wasn`t that he found what was true, but he would find what was true enough".
- George S. KaufmanIncreasingly, stars are recruited from the ranks of professional models, with the result that today`s starlets are better dressed and better groomed than ever before, though it is doubtful if they are better actresses.

- Andy Crouch(Some farmers are relocated. Others join the ranks of an estimated 150 million migrant workers drawn to the booming cities in search of jobs. Because of China`s restrictive household registration system, which prohibits rural inhabitants from moving to the cities, they are forced to work illegally, earning pennies an hour and without access to social services. While the migration is good for China`s overly rural economy, another 150 million peasants, lured by the promise of a better life, are expected to move to urban centres in the next decade.) China concerns me a lot because of the massive unemployment, ... I see enough people wandering the streets as it is. If they can`t keep this drive of construction and development, what are these people going to do? You just have to think about that. The Chinese are incredibly strong, they can take a lot more than any Canadian ever could. But I think there`s a limit to all that, too.
