Epic/literature

Famous quotes containing the words epic and/or literature:

“An epic of worry rather than of high tragedy.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)

“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)
