Modern Scholars

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or scholars:

“We Irish, born into that ancient sect
But thrown upon this filthy modern tide
And by its formless spawning fury wrecked,
Climb to our proper dark, that we may trace
The lineaments of a plummet-measured face.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“You should look straight at a film; that’s the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.”
