Influence Cage

Famous quotes containing the words influence and/or cage:

    For character too is a process and an unfolding ... among our valued friends is there not someone or other who is a little too self confident and disdainful; whose distinguished mind is a little spotted with commonness; who is a little pinched here and protruberent there with native prejudices; or whose better energies are liable to lapse down the wrong channel under the influence of transient solicitations?
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    Hollywood has always been a cage ... a cage to catch our dreams.
    John Huston (1906–1987)
