Famous quotes containing the words silent and/or film:

    Then, lastly, let some weekly strewings be
    Devoted to the memory of me:
    Then shall my ghost not walk about, but keep
    Still in the cool and silent shades of sleep.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    You should look straight at a film; that’s the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.
    Werner Herzog (b. 1942)
