Famous quotes containing the words eruption and/or point:
“Movies are one of the bad habits that corrupted our century. Of their many sins, I offer as the worst their effect on the intellectual side of the nation. It is chiefly from that viewpoint I write of them—as an eruption of trash that has lamed the American mind and retarded Americans from becoming a cultured people.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
“He left the name, at which the world grew pale,
To point a moral, or adorn a tale.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
