Summary

This quote satirically suggests that in Hollywood, the entertainment industry often places more value and emphasis on the bride, symbolized by the bouquet she carries at a wedding, rather than the groom. It implies that women tend to have a more glamorous and celebrated role in this context, while men are disregarded or seen as expendable. The statement highlights the superficial and fickle nature of relationships and societal priorities within the Hollywood culture.

Intellectual 'work' is misnamed; it is a pleasure, a dissipation, and is its own highest reward. The poorest paid architect, engineer, general, author, sculptor, painter, lecturer, advocate, legislator, actor, preacher, singer, is constructively in heaven when he is at work; and as for the magician with the fiddle-bow in his hand, who sits in the midst of a great orchestra with the ebbing and flowing tides of divine sound washing over him - why, certainly he is at work, if you wish to call it that, but lord, it's a sarcasm just the same. The law of work does seem utterly unfair - but there it is, and nothing can change it: the higher the pay in enjoyment the worker gets out of it, the higher shall be his pay in cash also.
