Famous quotes containing the words voice and/or cards:
“It is restful, tragedy, because one knows that there is no more lousy hope left. You know youre caught, caught at last like a rat with all the world on its back. And the only thing left to do is shoutnot moan, or complain, but yell out at the top of your voice whatever it was you had to say. What youve never said before. What perhaps you dont even know till now.”
—Jean Anouilh (19101987)
“Out in Hollywood, where the streets are paved with Goldwyn, the word sophisticate means, very simply, obscene. A sophisticated story is a dirty story. Some of that meaning was wafted eastward and got itself mixed up into the present definition. So that a sophisticate means: one who dwells in a tower made of a DuPont substitute for ivory and holds a glass of flat champagne in one hand and an album of dirty post cards in the other.”
—Dorothy Parker (18931967)
