Famous quotes containing the words vehicle and/or mode:
“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)
“Literature exists at the same time in the modes of error and truth; it both betrays and obeys its own mode of being.”
—Paul Deman (1919–1983)
