Famous quotes containing the words urban, legends and/or film:

    And New York is the most beautiful city in the world? It is not far from it. No urban night is like the night there.... Squares after squares of flame, set up and cut into the aether. Here is our poetry, for we have pulled down the stars to our will.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    a child’s
    Forgotten mornings when he walked with his mother
    Through the parables
    Of sunlight
    And the legends of the green chapels

    And the twice-told fields of infancy
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

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