Famous quotes containing the words silent, film and/or elements:

    But—if you cannot give us ease—
    Last of the race of them who grieve
    Here leave us to die out with these
    Last of the people who believe!
    Silent, while years engrave the brow;
    Silent—the best are silent now.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    This film is apparently meaningless, but if it has any meaning it is doubtless objectionable.
    —British Board Of Film Censors. Quoted in Halliwell’s Filmgoer’s Companion (1984)

    In spite of all their kind some elements of worth
    With difficulty persist here and there on earth.
    Hugh MacDiarmid (1892–1978)
