Famous quotes containing the words film and/or music:
“Lay not that flattering unction to your soul,
That not your trespass but my madness speaks;
It will but skin and film the ulcerous place,
Whilst rank corruption, mining all within,
Infects unseen.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.”
