That line changed the way I see things, like history, or the people that make it.

I did not see that movie when it first came out, but finally saw it on TV some 20 years later. I nearly fell off the couch, because that was such a profound and true statement.

It still is. It always has been. And no matter where you are on the political spectrum, it is, was, always has been, and always will be, true. Oh, and the movie is "Hud", an amazing and excellent movie. Well worth seeing. The novel is even better.
