Famous quotes containing the words local and/or time:
“America is the world’s living myth. There’s no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We’re here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“If you can’t believe a little in what you see on the screen, it’s not worth wasting your time on cinema.”
—Serge Daney (1944–1992)
