Story Takes Place

Famous quotes containing the words story, takes and/or place:

“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)

“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)

“This place is prose.”
—Yvonne (b. 1945)
