Famous quotes containing the words music and/or film:

    “And this shall be for music when no one else is near,
    The fine song for singing, the rare song to hear!
    That only I remember, that only you admire,
    Of the broad road that stretches and the roadside fire.”
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    “To read a newspaper for the first time is like coming into a film that has been on for an hour. Newspapers are like serials. To understand them you have to take knowledge to them; the knowledge that serves best is the knowledge provided by the newspaper itself.”
    —V.S. (Vidiadhar Surajprasad)
