Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“the cluttered eyes
of early mysterious night.”
—Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)
“I think of horror films as art, as films of confrontation. Films that make you confront aspects of your own life that are difficult to face. Just because you’re making a horror film doesn’t mean you can’t make an artful film.”
—David Cronenberg (b. 1943)
