Heroines

Famous quotes containing the word heroines:

    ... in ordinary fiction, movies, etc. everything is smoothed out to seem plausible—villains made bad, heroes splendid, heroines glamorous, and so on, so that no one believes a word of it.
    Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)

    When the first-rate author wants an exquisite heroine or a lovely morning, he finds that all the superlatives have been worn shoddy by his inferiors. It should be a rule that bad writers must start with plain heroines and ordinary mornings, and, if they are able, work up to something better.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
