Laurel and Hardy Filmography - Silent Short Films (starring Roles)

Famous quotes containing the words silent, short and/or films:

“We were that generation called “silent,” but we were silent neither, as some thought, because we shared the period’s official optimism nor, as others thought, because we feared its official repression. We were silent because the exhilaration of social action seemed to many of us just one more way of escaping the personal, of masking for a while that dread of the meaningless which was man’s fate.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1935)

“Jealousy is never satisfied with anything short of an omniscience that would detect the subtlest fold of the heart.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

“Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they’re doing and saying in films right now just shouldn’t be allowed. There’s no dignity anymore and I think that’s very important.”
—Mae West (1892–1980)
