Famous quotes containing the words film, television and/or set:

    “A film is a petrified fountain of thought.”
    —Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

    “His [O.J. Simpson’s] supporters lined the freeway to cheer him on Friday and commentators talked about his tragedy. Did those people see the photographs of the crime scene and the great blackening pools of blood seeping into the sidewalk? Did battered women watch all this on television and realize more vividly than ever before that their lives were cheap and their pain inconsequential?”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “I had to prosper good and punish evil.
    You changed all that. You set me free to reign.
    You are the Emancipator of your God,
    And as such I promote you to a saint.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
