Famous quotes containing the words cinema and/or greece:

    “Strangers used to gather together at the cinema and sit together in the dark, like Ancient Greeks participating in the mysteries, dreaming the same dream in unison.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “It was modesty that invented the word “philosopher” in Greece and left the magnificent overweening presumption in calling oneself wise to the actors of the spirit—the modesty of such monsters of pride and sovereignty as Pythagoras, as Plato.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
