Thousand Dollars

Famous quotes containing the words thousand and/or dollars:

    I heard what was said of the universe,
    Heard it and heard it of several thousand years;
    It is middling well as far as it goes—but is that all?
    Walt Whitman (1819–1882)

    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)
