Movies Shown

Famous quotes containing the words movies and/or shown:

    The movies were my textbooks for everything else in the world. When it wasn’t, I altered it. If I saw a college, I would see only cheerleaders or blonds. If I saw New York City, I would want to go to the slums I’d seen in the movies, where the tough kids played. If I went to Chicago, I’d want to see the brawling factories and the gangsters.
    Jill Robinson (b. 1936)

    My father used to say,
    “Superior people never make long visits,
    have to be shown Longfellow’s grave
    or the glass flowers at Harvard.”
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
