Famous quotes containing the words books and/or movies:
“If my books had been any worse, I should not have been invited to Hollywood, and ... if they had been any better, I should not have come.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“One of the grotesqueries of present-day American life is the amount of reasoning that goes into displaying the wisdom secreted in bad movies while proving that modern art is meaningless.... They have put into practise the notion that a bad art work cleverly interpreted according to some obscure Method is more rewarding than a masterpiece wrapped in silence.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
