The friends that have it I do wrong
Whenever I remake a song
Should know what issue is at stake,
It is myself that I remake.

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world — that is the myth of the "atomic age" — as in being able to remake ourselves.
Mohandas Karamchand (Mahatma) Gandhi
There's one thing to be said for a remake of a 1984 movie that uses the original's screenplay. This 2011 version is so similar — sometimes song for song and line for line — that I was wickedly tempted to reprint my 1984 review, word for word. But That Would be Wrong.
Roger Ebert
President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob! There are good, decent men and women who go out and work hard every day and put their skills to test that aren't taught by some liberal college professor and trying to indoctrinate them. Oh, I understand why he wants you to go to college: he wants to remake you in his image. I want to create jobs so people can remake their children into their image, not his.
Rick Santorum
It is not possible to remake the world. You can fix parts, but you can't remake the world.
Ed Koch
