Famous quotes containing the words motion picture, original, motion and/or picture:
“Too many Broadway actors in motion pictures lost their grip on success—had a feeling that none of it had ever happened on that sun-drenched coast, that the coast itself did not exist, there was no California. It had dropped away like a hasty dream and nothing could ever have been like the things they thought they remembered.”

“Man, even man debased by the neocapitalism and pseudosocialism of our time, is a marvelous being because he sometimes speaks.

—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“... The festival-colored brightness
That is their motion ...”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“It is impossible for me to envisage a picture as being other than a window, and ... my first concern is then to know what it looks out on.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
