Herbert Mankiewicz

Famous quotes containing the words herbert and/or mankiewicz:

    Who says that fictions only and false hair
    Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty?
    Is all good structure in a winding stair?
    May no lines pass, except they do their duty
    Not to a true, but painted chair?
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    Porter: O.K., O.K., you win. I’ll marry you. How ‘bout it?
    Lora May: Thanks. For nuthin’.
    Porter: Now what kind of an answer is that?
    Lora May: I don’t know. I just felt like it, that’s all.
    Porter: We’ll do all right, kid. We’re startin’ out where it takes most marriages years to get.
    —Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
