Dollars

Famous quotes containing the word dollars:

    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)

    To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
