Quotes
- “Franklin Fletcher dreamed of luxury in the form of tiger-skins and beautiful women. He was prepared, at a pinch, to forgo the tiger-skins. Unfortunately the beautiful women seemed equally rare and inaccessible.”
- ““To listen,” said little Guis, “is to be drunk without spending a penny. You think you understand; you seem to fly through the air; you have to burst out laughing.””
- ““Selfishness and greed,” said he, “have made the world what it is today.””
- “He knew that I was impressed, but I knew that he wished to impress me. This made us even, except of course that he still had the money.”
- “Take a friendly word of advice. You don't want to make pictures. It’s nothing but worry. Besides, you'll get mixed up with a lot of actors.”
- “I reflected that where vanity of that sort is to be found on one side of a contract there is always hope on the other.”
