Hitchcock Presents

Famous quotes containing the words hitchcock and/or presents:

“Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.”
—Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980)

“Realism, whether it be socialist or not, falls short of reality. It shrinks it, attenuates it, falsifies it; it does not take into account our basic truths and our fundamental obsessions: love, death, astonishment. It presents man in a reduced and estranged perspective. Truth is in our dreams, in the imagination.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
