Famous quotes containing the words top and/or films:

    I can’t forget
    How she stood at the top of that long marble stair
    Amazed, and then with a sleepy pirouette
    Went dancing slowly down to the fountain-quieted square;
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
