Thin Film Memory

Famous quotes containing the words thin, film and/or memory:

“... found myself
myself, smaller,
not thin but thinner, nervous,
who hurries without animal calm.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“The motion picture is like a picture of a lady in a half- piece bathing suit. If she wore a few more clothes, you might be intrigued. If she wore no clothes at all, you might be shocked. But the way it is, you are occupied with noticing that her knees are too bony and that her toenails are too large. The modern film tries too hard to be real. Its techniques of illusion are so perfect that it requires no contribution from the audience but a mouthful of popcorn.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

“And year by year our memory fades
From all the circle of the hills.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
