Public Hearing

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or hearing:

“Compare ... the cinema with theatre. Both are dramatic arts. Theatre brings actors before a public and every night during the season they re-enact the same drama. Deep in the nature of theatre is a sense of ritual. The cinema, by contrast, transports its audience individually, singly, out of the theatre towards the unknown.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)

“To-night she will spread her brown hair on his pillow,
But I shall be hearing the harsh cries of wild fowl.”
—Patrick MacDonogh (1902–1961)
