Memorable Quotes from Virginia Grey
2 quotesArtistic Integrity vs. Public Appreciation Debate
Joan Medford
You know, sometimes I feel sorry for you. You must be very unhappy.
F. Holmes Harmon
You're wasting your pity. I'm really a very happy fellow. Especially when I'm deflating the egos of artistic pretenders.
Joan Medford
Steve Morrow is not a pretender. He's honest. And he has talent. And on top of that, he's successful.
F. Holmes Harmon
Judged by the dollar sign, yes. Unfortunately, the general public's appreciation of art is limited to billboards and magazine covers. The morons wallow in a sea of girls, girls, unbelievably beautiful and well-proportioned girls.
Joan Medford
Are you saying that Steve should paint ugliness instead of beauty?
F. Holmes Harmon
I don't say that anyone should do anything. I merely say, as a critic, what he actually does.
Joan Medford
Then why don't you temper your criticism with the truth? Oh sure, you have a right to say you don't like apple pie. But it's certainly unfair to say that apple pie isn't good.
F. Holmes Harmon
You're a clever wench, Joan. But we're not talking about apple pie. We're talking about cheesecake. Here, for example, is a little bit of your Mr. Morrow's "art".
Joan Medford
Is that bad?
F. Holmes Harmon
It's revolting! Did you ever see a girl that perfect?
Joan Medford
You don't get around much, do you? That's why I feel sorry for you, Holmes. You crawl into your bottle of acid and stay there, dripping vitriol indiscriminately, always destroying.
