Famous quotes containing the word story:

    We bank over Boston. I am safe. I put on my hat.
    I am almost someone going home. The story has ended.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Its idea of “production value” is spending a million dollars dressing up a story that any good writer would throw away. Its vision of the rewarding movie is a vehicle for some glamour-puss with two expressions and eighteen changes of costume, or for some male idol of the muddled millions with a permanent hangover, six worn-out acting tricks, the build of a lifeguard, and the mentality of a chicken-strangler.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    That’s the whole story of my life: frustration. It’s a chronic disease, and it’s incurable.
    Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)
