![]() Lillian Gish Quotation"Lionel Barrymore first played my grandfather, later my father, and finally, he played my husband. If he'd lived, I'm sure I'd have played his mother. That's the way it is in Hollywood. The men get younger and the women get older." "I never approved of talkies. Silent movies were well on their way to developing an entirely new art form. It was not just pantomine, but something wonderfully expressive." "Fans always write asking why I didn't smile more in films. I smiled in 'Annie Laurie', but I can't recall that it helped much." "Those little virgins, after five minutes you got sick of playing them - to make them more interesting was hard work." Movie Title: The Unforgiven (1960) as Matilda Zachary: [Ma Zachary has finally admitted to the family that Rachel really is a Kiowa] Matilda Zachary : Your Pa brought the little Indian baby to me and put her in my arms. My own girl child with yellow curls had just died; too young to even have a name. My breasts were hurting with all that milk. So I gave the baby her name, Rachel. Rachel, my sweet beautiful Kiowa baby. Movie Title: The Night of the Hunter (1955) as Rachel Cooper: Rachel Cooper : Get your state troopers out here. I got something trapped in my barn. Rachel Cooper : It's a hard world for little things. Rachel Cooper : A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit. Neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Wherefore by their fruits, ye shall know them. Rachel Cooper : I'm a strong tree with branches for many birds. I'm good for something in this world and I know it too. Rachel Cooper : You know, when you're little, you have more endurance than God is ever to grant you again. Children are humanity's strongest. They abide. Rachel Cooper : John - ain't you going to say hello to your pa? John Harper : He's not my pa! Rachel Cooper : No, and he ain't no preacher neither! [last lines] Rachel Cooper : They abide, and they endure. Movie Title: Sweet Liberty (1986) as Cecelia Burgess: Michael Burgess : Hi Mom. I brought you your groceries Cecelia Burgess : Put them on the TV. Michael Burgess : Mom, why do you always put your groceries on the TV? Cecelia Burgess : I always put them there and keep them there for a week. The radiation kills the poison that they put in them. Michael Burgess : Mom, there's no poison in your groceries. Why don't you put them in the kitchen? Cecelia Burgess : You know why. [whispers] Cecelia Burgess : Because "he's" in there. Michael Burgess : Who, Mom? The Devil? [Cecelia nods] Michael Burgess : Mom, the Devil is not in your kitchen. |
