Motion Picture Actor

Famous quotes containing the words motion, picture and/or actor:

    “subways, rivered under streets
    and rivers . . . in the car
    the overtone of motion

    of motion is the sound
    of other faces, also underground—”
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    “But what now grips his fancy is her face,

    And how the cunning picture holds her still
    At just that smiling instant when her soul,
    Grown sweetly faint, and swept beyond control,
    Consents to his inexorable will.”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    “The actor is too prone to exaggerate his powers; he wants to play Hamlet when his appearance is more suitable to King Lear.”
    —Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
