Famous quotes containing the words long, lasting and/or impact:

    White in the moon the long road lies,
    The moon stands blank above;
    White in the moon the long road lies
    That leads me from my love.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    Television does not dominate or insist, as movies do. It is not sensational, but taken for granted. Insistence would destroy it, for its message is so dire that it relies on being the background drone that counters silence. For most of us, it is something turned on and off as we would the light. It is a service, not a luxury or a thing of choice.
    David Thomson, U.S. film historian. America in the Dark: The Impact of Hollywood Films on American Culture, ch. 8, William Morrow (1977)
