Famous quotes containing the words high, proper and/or motion:

    “It is very comforting to believe that leaders who do terrible things are, in fact, mad. That way, all we have to do is make sure we don’t put psychotics in high places and we’ve got the problem solved.”
    —Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)

    “You can marry Lorraine, my fortune will be restored to her, and you can live contentedly together ever after. Now that’s a proper ending to a story, isn’t it?”
    —Garrett Fort (1900–1945)

    “The motion picture is like a picture of a lady in a half- piece bathing suit. If she wore a few more clothes, you might be intrigued. If she wore no clothes at all, you might be shocked. But the way it is, you are occupied with noticing that her knees are too bony and that her toenails are too large. The modern film tries too hard to be real. Its techniques of illusion are so perfect that it requires no contribution from the audience but a mouthful of popcorn.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
