Famous quotes containing the words twentieth, century, fox and/or film:
“If the twentieth century is to be better than the nineteenth, it will be because there are among us men who walk in Priestley’s footsteps....To all eternity, the sum of truth and right will have been increased by their means; to all eternity, falsehoods and injustice will be the weaker because they have lived.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
““Darling,
will you come home today
after a few hours,
or at noon,
or a little later,
or when the whole day’s passed?”
A young wife
with tearful words stuck in her throat
spoils the departure of her man
who wishes to go to a land
that takes a hundred days
to reach.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“In a room with a stuffed fox and a stale fern,”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“The woman’s world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space.”
—Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
