You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

...And to be ok without an obvious reward.

I love that quote. (the original, not the added section I wrote! :lol:)

This popped up as a memory on Facebook that I had posted in 2016. I wish I'd noted which issue this was from. I do know that its from Motion Picture Story.

This is another from The Photoplay Philosopher. Unfortunately, I again don't know which edition of Motion Picture Story Magazine this came from.

That's pretty good advice. And also a quote within a quote—I think it was Emerson who said "Hitch you wagon to a star."

I like that hitch your wagon to a star quote. It has such a whimsical uplifting tone to it. I just looked it up, and it is Emerson! Good one!
