Famous quotes containing the word movies:
“Nostalgia, the vice of the aged. We watch so many old movies our memories come in monochrome.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“The movies were my textbooks for everything else in the world. When it wasn’t, I altered it. If I saw a college, I would see only cheerleaders or blonds. If I saw New York City, I would want to go to the slums I’d seen in the movies, where the tough kids played. If I went to Chicago, I’d want to see the brawling factories and the gangsters.”
—Jill Robinson (b. 1936)
