J. Paul Getty

"The beauty one can find in art is one of the pitifully few real and lasting products of human endeavor."

"During the 1950s, Aristotle Onassis and I formed what grew to be a close friendship and association in several business ventures."

"My love of fine art increased - the more of it I saw, the more of it I wanted to see."

"I hate to be a failure. I hate and regret the failure of my marriages. I would gladly give all my millions for just one lasting marital success."

"Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil."
