Famous quotes containing the words national, society, film, critics, award and/or actor:

    Any honest examination of the national life proves how far we are from the standard of human freedom with which we began. The recovery of this standard demands of everyone who loves this country a hard look at himself, for the greatest achievments must begin somewhere, and they always begin with the person. If we are not capable of this examination, we may yet become one of the most distinguished and monumental failures in the history of nations.
    James Baldwin (1924–1987)

    ...I cannot conceive a more odious society than one where nothing is considered indecent or impious.
    Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

    A good film script should be able to do completely without dialogue.
    David Mamet (b. 1947)

    There are hardly five critics in America; and several of them are asleep.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    To be a good actor ... it is necessary to have a firmly tempered soul, to be surprised at nothing, to resume each minute the laborious task that has barely just been finished.
    Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
