Welles

Famous quotes containing the word welles:

    Everybody is somebody’s fool. The only way to stay out of trouble is to grow old, so I guess I’ll concentrate on that. Maybe I’ll live so long that I’ll forget her. Maybe I’ll die trying.
    —Orson Welles (1915–1985)

    Captain Hank Quinlan: C’mon, read my future for me.
    Tanya: You haven’t got any.
    Captain Hank Quinlan: Hmmm. Whadya mean?
    Tanya: Your future is all used up.
    —Orson Welles (1915–1985)

    I rather think the cinema will die. Look at the energy being exerted to revive it—yesterday it was color, today three dimensions. I don’t give it forty years more. Witness the decline of conversation. Only the Irish have remained incomparable conversationalists, maybe because technical progress has passed them by.
    —Orson Welles (1915–1984)
