Famous quotes containing the words silent and/or film:
“Great things demand that we either remain silent about them or speak in a great manner: in a great manner, that is—cynically and with innocence.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Is America a land of God where saints abide for ever? Where golden fields spread fair and broad, where flows the crystal river? Certainly not flush with saints, and a good thing, too, for the saints sent buzzing into man’s ken now are but poor- mouthed ecclesiastical film stars and cliché-shouting publicity agents.
Their little knowledge bringing them nearer to their ignorance,
Ignorance bringing them nearer to death,
But nearness to death no nearer to God.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
