Behind the phony tinsel of Hollywood lies the real tinsel.

Oscar Levant

Tinsel in February, tinsel in August. There are things in a man besides his reason.

Wallace Stevens

The value of a man is in his intrinsic qualities: in that of which power cannot strip him and which adverse fortune cannot take away. That for which he is indebted to circumstances is mere trapping and tinsel.

William Godwin

I suppose movie theaters are the churches of the modern age, where we gather reverently to worship the tinsel gods of Hollywood.

Michael Dirda

Tinsel is really snakes' mirrors.

Steven Wright

You couldn't make yourself stop feeling a certain way, no matter what the other person did. You had to just wait. Eventually the feeling went away because others came along. Or sometimes it didn't go away but got squeezed into something tiny, and hung like a piece of tinsel in the back of your mind.

Elizabeth Strout

The ribbons! The wrappings! The tags! And the tinsel! The trimmings! The trappings!

Dr. Seuss

Popularity - a piece of faded tinsel, that is out of date.

Victor Hugo

The thing about working in Hollywood is that, at some point, you really get tired of hearing how godless you are, and how if you and the rest of the heathens in Tinsel town would put more God-centric shows on TV, people wouldn't be abandoning prime time in favor of their Bible study classes.
