Silent Film/elements 1894 - 1929

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

    “... we engage in politics because we don’t know anything. This is clearly revealed in the way we go about it. Our parties exist from a fear of theory. The voter fears that one idea can always be contradicted by another. Therefore the parties reciprocally defend themselves against the few old ideas they have inherited. They don’t live from what they promise, but from frustrating the promises of others. This is their silent community of interests.”
    —Robert Musil (1880–1942)

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

    “In spite of all their kind some elements of worth
    With difficulty persist here and there on earth.”
    —Hugh MacDiarmid (1892–1978)
