I broke my leg after doing the first four days of A Midsummer's Night Dream at Big Bear in a toboggan accident where I was almost killed. I was in the front of the toboggan with three big guys in back of me with a lot of inertia of the heavy weight, and my foot slipped off the toboggan, went right in the snow and split me up the middle. If it hadn't broken my femur at the exact time, I would have been killed.... While I was recuperating there (Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital) to get back on the set of A Midsummer's Night Dream they were waiting for me where I did that entire picture in a plaster of Paris cast covered up by Olivia De Havilland's dress ... while I'm at the Presbyterian Hospital and I'm recuperating, my wife (Jan) is born on the 6th floor. Now that's a billion-to-one shot. Mickey Rooney		Friday Oct 02, 2026

You ought to know that October is the first Spring month. Karel Čapek

Quote Author: Karel Čapek

Karel Čapek

Karel Čapek (pronounced [ˈkarɛl ˈtʃapɛk] (help·info) ) (January 9, 1890 - December 25, 1938) was one of the most influential Czech writers of the 20th century, and a Nobel Prize nominee (1936). He introduced and made popular the frequently used international word robot , which first appeared in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) in 1921. Karel named his brother Josef Čapek as the true inventor of the word robot.

Čapek was born in Malé Svatoňovice, Bohemia, Austria-Hungary (now Czech Republic).

Other Karel Čapek Quotes

O Lord, grant that in some way it may rain every day, say from about midnight until three o'clock in the morning, but, you see, it must be gentle and warm so that it can soak in; grant that at the same time it would not rain on campion, alyssum, heliaanthemum, lavender, and the others which you in your infinite wisdom know are drought loving plants I will write their names on a paper if you like and grant that the sun may shine the whole day long, but not everywhere (not for instance, on spiraea, or on gentian, plantain lily, and rhododendron), and not to much; that there may be plenty of dew and little wind, enough worms, no plant lice and snails, no mildew, and that once a week thin liquid manure and guano may fall from heaven. Amen.

Let no one think that real gardening is a bucolic and meditative occupation. It is an insatiable passion, like everything else to which a man gives his heart.

You ought to know that October is the first Spring month.

If dogs could talk, perhaps we should find it as hard to get on with them as we do with people.
