Famous quotes containing the words marine, inland and/or production:

    God has a hard-on for a Marine because we kill everything we see. He plays His game, we play ours.
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    Again the guns disturbed the hour,
    Roaring their readiness to avenge,
    As far inland a Stourton Tower,
    And Camelot, and starlit Stonehenge.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.
    George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)
