Famous quotes containing the words top and/or films:

    ““There is Lowell, who’s striving Parnassus to climb
    With a whole bale of isms tied together with rhyme,
    He might get on alone, spite of brambles and boulders,
    But he can’t with that bundle he has on his shoulders,
    The top of the hill he will ne’er come nigh reaching
    Till he learns the distinction ‘twixt singing and preaching;”
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    “Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
