Famous quotes containing the words secondary and/or literature:

    “The prime purpose of being four is to enjoy being four—of secondary importance is to prepare for being five.”
    —Jim Trelease (20th century)

    “The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
    —Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
