The movies enable an actor not only to act but also to sit down in the theater and clap for himself

We can't all be heroes, because somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by

There is only one thing that can kill the movies, and that is education. . . . Some say, what is the salvation of the movies? I say, run 'em backward. It can't hurt 'em and it's worth a trial.

If they really want to honor the boys, why don't they let them sit in the stands and have the people march by?

Even though you are on the right track - you will get run over if you just sit there

We can't all be heroes, because somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by.
