Famous quotes containing the words film and/or television:
“A film is a petrified fountain of thought.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
“Cultural expectations shade and color the images that parents- to-be form. The baby product ads, showing a woman serenely holding her child, looking blissfully and mysteriously contented, or the television parents, wisely and humorously solving problems, influence parents-to-be.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
