Famous quotes containing the words painting, song and/or dynasties:

    “The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
    —Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)

    “Writing, madam, ‘s a mechanic part of wit! A gentleman should never go beyond a song or a billet.”
    —George Etherege (1635–1691)

    “All forms of government symbolize an immortal government, common to all dynasties and independent of numbers, perfect where two men exist, perfect where there is only one man.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
