—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“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 themas an eruption of trash that has lamed the American mind and retarded Americans from becoming a cultured people.”
—Ben Hecht (18931964)
“This is the 184th Demonstration.

we do not break the panes of safety glass
stretching between people on the street
and the deaths they hire.”
