Gulley Jimson:
Go and do something sensible, like shooting yourself! But don't be an artist!

Gulley Jimson:
Go away. Scram. Tie lead weights to your feet, fireworks in your hair, kiss your mother goodbye and jump in the river. I don't know you. I don't want to know you. Buzz off! Explode!

I have news for you... I'm going to be a little bit ill.

Gulley Jimson:
I like it here: bricks and broken glass, and an old garbage can. It's the story of my life.

Gulley Jimson:
Of course you want to be an artist. Everybody does, once. But they get over it, like measles and chicken pox.
Nosey: But there have to be artists!
Gulley Jimson: And lunatics too! But why go and live in an asylum before you're sent for?

Gulley Jimson:
What are you doing?
Miss D. Coker: I'm saying my prayers; I forgot them.
Gulley Jimson: I thought you hated G-d.

Gulley Jimson: Why do you pray then?
Miss D. Coker: Well, he's our Father, isn't he?
Gulley Jimson: That's a funny reason.
