Citizen Kane Quotes
The Grandeur of Xanadu and Its Legacy
Newsreel Narrator: [[Florida]
Legendary was Xanadu where Kubla Khan decreed his stately pleasure dome. Today, almost as legendary is ]'s Xanadu, world's largest private pleasure ground. Here, on the deserts of the Gulf Coast, a private mountain was commissioned and successfully built. One hundred thousand trees, twenty thousand tons of marble are the ingredients of Xanadu's mountain. Contents of Xanadu's palace: paintings, pictures, statues, the very stones of many another palace — a collection of everything so big it can never be catalogued or appraised, enough for ten museums — the loot of the world. Xanadu's livestock: the fowl of the air, the fish of the sea, the beast of the field and jungle. Two of each, the biggest private zoo since Noah. Like the pharaohs, Xanadu's landlord leaves many stones to mark his grave. Since the pyramids, Xanadu is the costliest monument a man has built to himself. Here in Xanadu last week, Xanadu's landlord was laid to rest: a potent figure of our century, America's Kubla Khan, Charles Foster Kane.

Perceptions of Beauty in Nursing
Jedediah Leland:
You know, when I was a young man there used to be an impression around that nurses were pretty. Well, it was no truer then than it is today.
