Famous quotes containing the word movies:
“Nostalgia, the vice of the aged. We watch so many old movies our memories come in monochrome.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“The movies today are too rich to have any room for genuine artists. They produce a few passable craftsmen, but no artists. Can you imagine a Beethoven making $100,000 a year?”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“... in the movies Paris is designed as a backdrop for only three things—love, fashion shows, and revolution.”
—Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
