Famous quotes containing the words swarm and/or season:
“Cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“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)
