Famous quotes containing the words public, information and/or film:

    “The approval of the public is to be avoided like the plague. It is absolutely essential to keep the public from entering if one wishes to avoid confusion. I must add that the public must be kept panting in expectation at the gate by a system of challenges and provocations.”
    —André Breton (1896–1966)

    “I believe it has been said that one copy of The Times contains more useful information than the whole of the historical works of Thucydides.”
    —Richard Cobden (1804–1865)

    “All film directors, whether famous or obscure, regard themselves as misunderstood or underrated. Because of that, they all lie. They’re obliged to overstate their own importance.”
    —François Truffaut (1932–1984)
