Famous quotes containing the words the old, mother, riley and/or films:

    “O, there’s a wind a-blowing, a-blowing from the west,
    And that of all the winds is the one I like the best,
    For it blows at our backs, and it shakes our pennon free,
    And it soon will blow us home to the old countrie.”
    —William Ernest Henley (1849–1903)

    “How the mother is to be pitied who hath handsome daughters! Locks, bolts, bars, and lectures of morality are nothing to them: they break through them all. They have as much pleasure in cheating a father and mother, as in cheating at cards.”
    —John Gay (1685–1732)

    “the ache here in the throat,
    To know that I so ill deserve the place
    Her arms make for me;”
    —James Whitcomb Riley (1849–1916)

    “Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they’re doing and saying in films right now just shouldn’t be allowed. There’s no dignity anymore and I think that’s very important.”
    —Mae West (1892–1980)
