Famous quotes containing the words literature and, literature and/or film:

    “The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
    —Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)

    “How has the human spirit ever survived the terrific literature with which it has had to contend?”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Lay not that flattering unction to your soul,
    That not your trespass but my madness speaks;
    It will but skin and film the ulcerous place,
    Whilst rank corruption, mining all within,
    Infects unseen.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
