Famous quotes containing the words films, released, separate and/or parts:

    “Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they’re doing and saying in films right now just shouldn’t be allowed. There’s no dignity anymore and I think that’s very important.”
    —Mae West (1892–1980)

    “Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let’s not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources.”
    —Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)

    “As a father I had some trouble finding the words to separate the person from the deed. Usually, when one of my sons broke the rules or a window, I was too angry to speak calmly and objectively. My own solution was to express my feelings, but in an exaggerated, humorous way: “You do that again and you will be grounded so long they will call you Rip Van Winkle II,” or “If I hear that word again, I’m going to braid your tongue.””
    —David Elkind (20th century)

    “still a betrayal room for the till-death-do-us
    and yet a death, as in the unlocking of scissors
    that makes the now separate parts useless,
    even to cut each other up as we did yearly
    under the crayoned-in sun.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
