Famous quotes containing the words material and/or culture:
“This is the essential distinctioneven oppositionbetween the painting and the film: the painting is composed subjectively, the film objectively. However highly we rate the function of the scenario writerin actual practice it is rated very lowwe must recognize that the film is not transposed directly and freely from the mind by means of a docile medium like paint, but must be cut piece-meal out of the lumbering material of the actual visible world.”
—Sir Herbert Read (18931968)
“Sanity consists in not being subdued by your means. Fancy prices are paid for position, and for the culture of talent, but to the grand interests, superficial success is of no account.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
