Famous quotes containing the word line:
“When all this is over, you know what Im going to do? Im gonna get married, gonna have about six kids. Ill line em up against the wall and tell them what it was like here in Burma. If they dont cry, Ill beat the hell out of em.”
—Samuel Fuller, U.S. screenwriter, and Milton Sperling. Samuel Fuller. Barney, Merrills Marauders (1962)
“What is line? It is life. A line must live at each point along its course in such a way that the artists presence makes itself felt above that of the model.... With the writer, line takes precedence over form and content. It runs through the words he assembles. It strikes a continuous note unperceived by ear or eye. It is, in a way, the souls style, and if the line ceases to have a life of its own, if it only describes an arabesque, the soul is missing and the writing dies.”
—Jean Cocteau (18891963)
