Famous quotes containing the word chain:

    “The name of the town isn’t important. It’s the one that’s just twenty-eight minutes from the big city. Twenty-three if you catch the morning express. It’s on a river and it’s got houses and stores and churches. And a main street. Nothing fancy like Broadway or Market, just plain Broadway. Drug, dry good, shoes. Those horrible little chain stores that breed like rabbits.”
    —Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)

    “From Nature’s chain whatever link you strike,
    Tenth or ten thousandth, breaks the chain alike.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “You know, he wanted to shoot the Royal Family, abolish marriage, and put everybody who’d been to public school in a chain gang. Yeah, he was a idealist, your dad was.”
    —David Mercer, British screenwriter, and Karel Reisz. Mrs. Dell (Irene Handl)
