Famous quotes containing the words chatham and/or cinema:
“If I were an American, as I am an Englishman, while a foreign troop was landed in my country, I never would lay down my armsnevernevernever!”
—William Pitt, The Elder, Lord Chatham (17081778)
“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)
