> ==(Dr. Seuss, //Oh! The Places You’ll Go!// 1990)==

> ==(Pauline Kael, review of //E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial//. //The New Yorker//, June 14, 1982)==
 * =="Like //Close Encounters//, //E.T.// is bathed in warmth, and it seems to clear all the bad thoughts out of //your// head. It reminds //you// of the goofiest dreams //you// had as a kid, and rehabilitates them. Spielberg is right there in his films; //you// can feel his presence and his love of surprises."==

> ==(Jimmy Cannon, "Perfect Day for a Dim-Time Guy.” //New York Post//, October 9, 1956)==
 * =="You’re Don Larsen, the dim-time guy who pitched the perfect game. You’re a midnight kid who doesn’t miss any laughs. It’s one more for the road and no one ever gets sun-burned by a sallow morning sun. But yesterday on a sun-spangled afternoon you achieved everlasting fame in baseball. You pitched a no-hitter, the first in any World Series game, the perfect one because no one reached first base in nine rapid innings. So let them rib you about busting up a past-curfew car in St. Pete last spring. You weren’t hurt and yesterday it was 2-0 against the Dodgers in the fifth game of the World Series in Yankee Stadium."==
