Famous quotes containing the words west and/or hollywood:
“Out where the handclasp’s a little stronger,
Out where the smile dwells a little longer,
That’s where the West begins.”

“That’s one thing I like about Hollywood. The writer is there revealed in his ultimate corruption. He asks no praise, because his praise comes to him in the form of a salary check. In Hollywood the average writer is not young, not honest, not brave, and a bit overdressed. But he is darn good company, which book writers as a rule are not. He is better than what he writes. Most book writers are not as good.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
