Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or treatment:
“First literature came to refer only to itself, the literary theory.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The motion picture made in Hollywood, if it is to create art at all, must do so within such strangling limitations of subject and treatment that it is a blind wonder it ever achieves any distinction beyond the purely mechanical slickness of a glass and chromium bathroom.”
