Famous quotes containing the words british, academy and/or film:

    Anthropology is the science which tells us that people are the same the whole world over—except when they are different.
    Nancy Banks-Smith, British columnist. Quoted in Guardian (London, July 21, 1988)

    ...I have come to make distinctions between what I call the academy and literature, the moral equivalents of church and God. The academy may lie, but literature tries to tell the truth.
    Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)

    If you want to tell the untold stories, if you want to give voice to the voiceless, you’ve got to find a language. Which goes for film as well as prose, for documentary as well as autobiography. Use the wrong language, and you’re dumb and blind.
    Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)
