  Quotes by Nichols, Dudley




Dudley Nichols (April 6, 1895 - January 4, 1960) was a American screenwriter who first came to prominence after winning the screenwriting Oscar for The Informer in 1936..

"Jesus of Nazareth could have chosen simply to express Himself in moral precepts; but like a great poet He chose the form of the parable, wonderful short stories that entertained and clothed the moral precept in an eternal form. It is not sufficient to catch man's mind, you must also catch the imaginative faculties of his mind."

"I devoutly believe it is the writer who has matured the film medium more than anyone else in Hollywood. Even when he knew nothing about his work, he brought at least knowledge of life and a more grown-up mind, a maturer feeling about the human being."
