Famous quotes containing the words selected and/or films:
“The best history is but like the art of Rembrandt; it casts a vivid light on certain selected causes, on those which were best and greatest; it leaves all the rest in shadow and unseen.”
—Walter Bagehot (18261877)
“Does art reflect life? In movies, yes. Because more than any other art form, films have been a mirror held up to societys porous face.”
