More quotes by Marya Mannes
People on horses look better than they are. People in cars look worse than they are.
Marya Mannes
on Broadway money rules. Like a host of vultures, the ticket brokers, the speculators, the craft unions, the agents, the backers, the real estate owners move in on the creative body and take their bite. The world of dreams breathes in an iron lung and without this mechanical pumping it dies.
Marya Mannes
The barbarian weapon is fission: the splitting asunder. It has been perfected for death. Our only weapon is fusion: an imperfect process still, though designed for life.
Marya Mannes
The New York voice reflects its diversity, its foreignness, and, inevitably, the sense of superiority New Yorkers feel or come to feel. It says, without saying, We Know.
Marya Mannes
All people talk of money sometimes, everywhere. But not for all people, everywhere, is money the addiction, the obsession, the stimulant, that it seems to be in New York. It is a large part of the clamor, and it is the voice - quite literally - of the man in the street.
Marya Mannes
the incredible new medical technology has made it possible for highly disciplined teams of surgeons ... to keep stricken organisms alive even if the brain is irretrievably damaged or lung and heart incapable of functioning without mechanical help. Now it is not dust to dust, but human to vegetable.
Marya Mannes
To be successful in the world of art you must, of course, have talent, although very small talents have gone very far in this age. Just as the microphone gave volume to voices that had none, so does the science of press-agentry magnify limited skills into highly saleable properties.
Marya Mannes
The right to choose death when life no longer holds meaning is not only the next liberation but the last human right.
Marya Mannes
The suppression of civil liberties is too many less a matter for horror than the curtailment of the freedom to profit.
Marya Mannes
To be at peace with self, to find company and nourishment in self-this would be the test of the free and productive psyche.
Marya Mannes
All wars derive from lack of empathy: the incapacity of one to understand and accept the likeness or difference of another. Whether in nations or the encounters of race and sex, competition then replaces compassion, subjection excludes mutuality.
Marya Mannes
The Republicans think they have a corner on morality.
Marya Mannes
Republicans seems to me to be chiefly concerned with holding on to what they have: in society, it's position, or respectability, or what you will in business, of course, it's profit.
Marya Mannes
The great omission in American life is solitude not loneliness, for this is an alienation that thrives most in the midst of crowds, but that zone of time and space, free from the outside pressures, which is the incubator of the spirit.
Marya Mannes
It is privilege of living to be acutely, agonizingly conscious of the moment that is always present and always passing.
Marya Mannes
The more people are reached by mass communication, the less they communicate with each other.
Marya Mannes
I don't think it's possible to write a good play or paint a good picture and be a good Republican.
Marya Mannes
Lie down and listen to the crabgrass grow.
Marya Mannes
Timing and arrogance are decisive factors in the successful use of talent.
Marya Mannes
No man is a Christian who cheats his fellows, perverts the truth, or speaks of a clean bomb yet he will be the first to make public his faith in God.
