Hollywood Be Thy Name Quotes

“Sometimes a definite pattern of life, whatever its apparent advantages, can be a potent danger to man’s advancement . . . The sun will not wait, nor will the world.  Empires, religions, and great industrial establishments alike have toppled into oblivion for lack of elasticity to move with changing times.  And a man who holds to a set pattern, who fails to realize that a blend of initiative and tenacity is indispensable, wakes one morning to find himself out of step with an era which has long since passed him by.  Hardening of the intellectual arteries is a dangerous element, both to its possessor and to humanity at large.  Petrified trees maintain the status quo, but they build no houses.”
― Cass Warner Sperling, Hollywood Be Thy Name: The Warner Brothers Story
