Gregory Peck
"If these Mount Everests of the financial world are going to labor and bring forth still more pictures with people being blown to bits with bazookas and automatic assault rifles with no gory detail left unexploited, if they are going to encourage anxious, ambitious actors, directors, writers and producers to continue their assault on the English language by reducing the vocabularies of their characters to half a dozen words, with one colorful but overused Anglo-Saxon verb and one unbeautiful Anglo-Saxon noun covering just about every situation, then I would like to suggest that they stop and think about this: making millions is not the whole ball game, fellows. Pride of workmanship is worth more. Artistry is worth more."

"إذا كانت قمم إيفرست هذه في عالم المال ستكدح وتنتج المزيد من الأفلام التي يُنسف فيها الناس إربًا بالبازوكا والبنادق الآلية، دون ترك أي تفصيل دموي إلا واستُغلّ، وإذا كانوا سيحثّون ممثلين ومخرجين وكتابًا ومنتجين، يحدوهم القلق والطموح، على مواصلة اعتدائهم على اللغة، بتقليص مفردات شخصياتهم إلى بضع كلمات لا تتجاوز أصابع اليد الواحدة، حيث يكفي فعل واحد، وإن كان حيويًا إلا أنه مبتذل ومفرط الاستخدام، واسم واحد فجّ، ليغطيا كل موقف تقريبًا، فأود أن أقترح عليهم أن يتوقفوا ويفكروا في هذا: كسب الملايين ليس كل شيء أيها الرفاق. ففخر الصنعة يستحق أكثر. والفن يستحق أكثر."
