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

    The motion picture made in Hollywood, if it is to create art at all, must do so within such strangling limitations of subject and treatment that it is a blind wonder it ever achieves any distinction beyond the purely mechanical slickness of a glass and chromium bathroom.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Eloquence is a painting of thought; and thus those who, after having painted it, add something more, make a picture instead of a portrait.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    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)
