Famous quotes containing the words brian and/or faulkner:

    You want to get Capone? Here’s how you get him: he pulls a knife, you pull a gun, he sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. It’s the Chicago way and that’s how you get Capone.
    David Mamet, U.S. screenwriter, and Brian DePalma. Jimmy Malone (Sean Connery)

    The artist is of no importance. Only what he creates is important, since there is nothing new to be said. Shakespeare, Balzac, Homer have all written about the same things, and if they had lived one thousand or two thousand years longer, the publishers wouldn’t have needed anyone since.
    —William Faulkner (1897–1962)
