Motion Picture Patents

Famous quotes containing the words motion and/or picture:

    We must not suppose that, because a man is a rational animal, he will, therefore, always act rationally; or, because he has such or such a predominant passion, that he will act invariably and consequentially in pursuit of it. No, we are complicated machines; and though we have one main spring that gives motion to the whole, we have an infinity of little wheels, which, in their turns, retard, precipitate, and sometime stop that motion.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    As a general truth, it is safe to say that any picture that produces a moral impression is a bad picture.
    Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
