Famous quotes containing the words boston, film and/or festival:

    Tonight I appear for the first time before a Boston audience—4,000 critics.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Is America a land of God where saints abide for ever? Where golden fields spread fair and broad, where flows the crystal river?

    Their little knowledge bringing them nearer to their ignorance,
    Ignorance bringing them nearer to death,
    But nearness to death no nearer to God.
    Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

    The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
