Nunnally Johnson quotes
-
“A dramatic writer should never tell anything he can show.”
-- Nunnally Johnson -
“Maybe it's like Casey says. A fellow ain't got a soul of his own. Just a little piece of a big soul. The one big soul that belongs to everybody.”
-- Nunnally Johnson -
“Well, Pa, a woman can change better than a man. A man lives, sort of, well, in jerks. A baby's born or somebody dies and that's a jerk. He gets a farm or loses it and that's a jerk. With a woman, it's all in one flow, like a stream. Little eddies and waterfalls, but the river, it goes right on. A woman looks at it that way.”
-- Nunnally Johnson
