Famous quotes containing the words facial and/or expressions:

    “You must call up every strength you own
    And you can rip off the whole facial mask.”
    —William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)

    “Its idea of “production value” is spending a million dollars dressing up a story that any good writer would throw away. Its vision of the rewarding movie is a vehicle for some glamour-puss with two expressions and eighteen changes of costume, or for some male idol of the muddled millions with a permanent hangover, six worn-out acting tricks, the build of a lifeguard, and the mentality of a chicken-strangler.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
