"The belief that the good in American society will finally win out… I don’t believe any more." ― Elia Kazan Topic(s): Society More From Elia Kazan "I wouldn’t go up on a stage now if you paid a thousand dollars for one minute of acting. It’s a nasty experience. You’re up there all by yourself. You’re so damn exposed." "Whatever hysteria exists is inflamed by mystery, suspicion and secrecy. Hard and exact facts will cool it." "I truly believe that all power corrupts. Such is probably the thinking behind every political film ever made in Hollywood." More In Society "Society prizes a girl for being thin more than anything else she might bring to the table."― Arabella Weir "Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on."― Robert Kennedy "I don’t have any well-developed philosophy about journalism. Ultimately it is important in a society like this, so people can know about everything that goes wrong."― Charles Kuralt
