Of man is made against Omnipotence,
Some price that bears proportion must be paid,
And infinite with infinite be weighed.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
“Compare ... the cinema with theatre. Both are dramatic arts. Theatre brings actors before a public and every night during the season they re-enact the same drama. Deep in the nature of theatre is a sense of ritual. The cinema, by contrast, transports its audience individually, singly, out of the theatre towards the unknown.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
