“The name of the town isnt important. Its the one thats just twenty-eight minutes from the big city. Twenty-three if you catch the morning express. Its on a river and its got houses and stores and churches. And a main street. Nothing fancy like Broadway or Market, just plain Broadway. Drug, dry good, shoes. Those horrible little chain stores that breed like rabbits.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (19091993)
“Young children...are often uninterested in conversation It is not that they dont have ideas and feelings, or need to express them to others It is simply that as one eight-year-old boy once told me, Talking is okay, but I dont like to do it all the time the way grown-ups do; I guess you have to develop the habit.”
—Robert Coles (20th century)
