Famous quotes containing the words space, direct and/or sum:
“The womans world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space.”
—Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
“...I have never known a movement in the theater that did not work direct and serious harm. Indeed, I have sometimes felt that the very people associated with various uplifting activities in the theater are people who are astoundingly lacking in idealism.”
—Minnie Maddern Fiske (18651932)
“The ornament is a statuette, a black figure of a bird. I am prepared to pay on behalf of the figures rightful owner the sum of $5000 for its recovery. I am prepared to promise, to promise ... what is the phrase?No questions will be asked.”
—John Huston (19061987)
