Famous quotes containing the words cinema, mexico, silent and/or films:
“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The hills in their recumbent postures
Look into the silent lake....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
