Famous quotes containing the words pen and/or makers:

    “Well, I know you haven’t had much experience writing and none at all in pictures. But I’ve heard about you. It all sounded like you’re just the man I wanted for a story about the Navy. I don’t want a story just about ships and planes. I want a story about the officers.... I want this story from a pen dipped in salt water not dry martinis. Do you know what I mean?”
    —Frank Fenton, William Wister Haines, co-scenarist, and John Ford. John Dodge (Ward Bond)

    “All that we call ideal in Greek or any other art, because to us it is false and visionary, was, to the makers of it, true and existent.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)
