J. Paul Getty

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

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

"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."

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

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