Silent Film/elements 1894 - 1929

Famous quotes containing the words silent, film and/or elements:

    Great things demand that we either remain silent about them or speak in a great manner: in a great manner, that is—cynically and with innocence.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    This film is apparently meaningless, but if it has any meaning it is doubtless objectionable.
    —British Board Of Film Censors. Quoted in Halliwell’s Filmgoer’s Companion (1984)

    It is a life-and-death conflict between all those grand, universal, man-respecting principles which we call by the comprehensive term democracy, and all those partial, person-respecting, class-favoring elements which we group together under that silver-slippered word aristocracy. If this war does not mean that, it means nothing.
    Antoinette Brown Blackwell (1825–1921)
