Waiting/film

Famous quotes containing the words waiting and/or film:

“A sure way to irritate people and to put evil thoughts into their heads is to keep them waiting a long time. This makes them immoral.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“All the old supports going, gone, this man reaches out a hand to steady himself on a ledge of rough brick that is warm in the sun: his hand feeds him messages of solidity, but his mind messages of destruction, for this breathing substance, made of earth, will be a dance of atoms, he knows it, his intelligence tells him so: there will soon be war, he is in the middle of war, where he stands will be a waste, mounds of rubble, and this solid earthy substance will be a film of dust on ruins.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
