I have collected various quotes by and about James Dean. Some are amusing, many are prophetic, and all are true & touching. They give us a glimpse of Jimmy from the point of view of those closest to him - his relatives, friends, and co-workers. The quotes by Jimmy himself are very interesting, and I was amazed at how intelligent he was. With only a little more than a year of college under his belt, Jimmy's words are both clever and proficient. They give us a small peek inside the great man that he was and always will be.
