Famous quotes containing the words type and/or material:

    “The more characteristic American hero in the earlier day, and the more beloved type at all times, was not the hustler but the whittler.”
    —Mark Sullivan (1874–1952)

    “This is the essential distinction—even opposition—between the painting and the film: the painting is composed subjectively, the film objectively. However highly we rate the function of the scenario writer—in actual practice it is rated very low—we must recognize that the film is not transposed directly and freely from the mind by means of a docile medium like paint, but must be cut piece-meal out of the lumbering material of the actual visible world.”
    —Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
