“You could name the great stars of the silent screen who were finished; the great directors gone; the great title writers who were washed up. But remember this, as long as you live: the producers didn't lose a man. They all made the switch.

“There was a stately drama writ By the hand that peopled the earth and air, And set the stars in the infinite, And made night gorgeous and morning fair; And all that had sense to reason knew That bloody drama must be gone through. Some sat and watched how the action veered-- Waited, profited, trembled, cheered-- We saw not clearly nor understood, But yielding ourselves to the masterhand, Each in his part as best he could, We played it through as the author planned.” MadeWarReasonHandsActionEarthNightStarsMorningGoneSawsAirDramaUnderstoodFairsInfiniteSatBloodyGorgeous Author:Alan Seeger
“Trillions of years into the future, when all stars are gone...all parts of the cosmos will cool to the same temperature as the ever-cooling background.

You see chiefly the same press agents, the same sort of interviewers, and the same picture layouts of yourself.” KindEndsMatterStarsGoneBecomingPressesRoundsAgentsMovie StarMerryLiving OnSceneryInterviewersLayoutMerry Go Round Book:My Story Source: My Story
