Famous quotes containing the words mother, riley and/or films:

    “When women reach the age of maturity, Mother Nature sometimes overworks their frustration to the point of irrationalism. Like the middle-aged man...who finds himself looking longingly at a girl in her early twenties.”
    —Mark Hanna, and Nathan Hertz. Dr. Von Loeb (Otto Waldis)

    “the ache here in the throat,
    To know that I so ill deserve the place
    Her arms make for me;”
    —James Whitcomb Riley (1849–1916)

    “Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they’re doing and saying in films right now just shouldn’t be allowed. There’s no dignity anymore and I think that’s very important.”
    —Mae West (1892–1980)
