“I’m really honored to be part of this evening’s tribute to a man I’ve known and loved for so many years. Aside from the astounding impact he’s had on the theater, motion pictures and I suppose all forms of show business, he is completely and absolutely responsible for abetting and encouraging some of us to be become actors… If it hadn’t been for his interference, I could be very happily working for my uncle’s bank on Sycamore Street in Petersburg. I’ve never spoken before of this intrusion in my private life but now that I have the opportunity, let me say this to you Orson— thank you very much.”

— Joseph Cotten speaking at Orson Welles’ AFI Tribute (x)

deforest: You know what the fellow said – in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce?

juliemarsden: Movies I can watch over and over again | The Third Man (1949) Don’t be so gloomy. After all it’s not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long Holly.
