Famous quotes containing the words famous, visitors and/or cinema:

    “Celebrity-worship and hero-worship should not be confused. Yet we confuse them every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of all real models. We lose sight of the men and women who do not simply seem great because they are famous but are famous because they are great. We come closer and closer to degrading all fame into notoriety.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    “While the focus in the landscape of Old World cities was commonly government structures, churches, or the residences of rulers, the landscape and the skyline of American cities have boasted their hotels, department stores, office buildings, apartments, and skyscrapers. In this grandeur, Americans have expressed their Booster Pride, their hopes for visitors and new settlers, and customers, for thriving commerce and industry.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    “Photography is truth. The cinema is truth twenty-four times per second.”
    —Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
