Famous quotes containing the words live, action and/or films:
“She isn’t my wife, really. We just have some kids. No. No kids. Sometimes, though, it feels as if we had kids. She isn’t beautiful, she’s just easy to live with. No, she isn’t. That’s why I don’t live with her.”
—Michelangelo Antonioni (b. 1912)
“A thought which does not result in an action is nothing much, and an action which does not proceed from a thought is nothing at all.”
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)
“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)
