• A Little Bit of Walt:
  
  • “As I remember, it was the toughest period l’ve had in my whole life. It wasn’t a worry of losing anything, it was just sort of a big disappointment in a lot of things. But something comes out of it. Sometimes you’ve got to build yourself up and explode. And then you begin to pick up the pieces and take stock.” — Walt Disney
