Quoted by Stan Laurel:
“If any of you cry at my funeral, I’ll never speak to you again.”
Quoted by Oliver Hardy:
“Well, if she was dumb enough to marry you, she’ll believe anything.”
Quoted by Buster Keaton:
“Silence is of the gods; only monkeys chatter.“
Quoted by Greta Garbo:
“Why haven’t I got a husband and children?” mused Greta Garbo to the Duchess of Windsor, “I never met a man I could marry.”
Quote by Marisha Pessl in Special Topics in Calamity Physics:
“If all histories have a period known as The Golden Age, somewhere between The Beginning and The End, I suppose those Sundays during Fall Semester at Hannah’s were just that, or, to quote one of Dad’s treasured characters of cinema, the illustrious Norma Desmond as she recalled the lost era of silent film: “We didn’t need dialogue. We had faces.”
Quoted by Leonard Maltin:
“When it comes to the selections, I heard several observers claim that the Academy was embracing “nostalgia” by honoring The Artist and Hugo. Give me a break! Hugo represents cutting-edge storytelling by a world-class director—in 3-D, no less. The Artist dares to revisit a form of cinema that was abandoned in the late 1920s. The Academy members admired these films for making the past seem immediate and relevant. That has nothing to do with nostalgia; it has everything to do with great moviemaking, which is what the Academy Awards are all about.”
