Famous quotes containing the words music and/or film:

    “If music be the food of love, play on,
    Give me excess of it that, surfeiting,
    The appetite may sicken and so die.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “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)
