John Berryman

The audience too should be respected by being presented with a film as they remember it, and for those who have not seen it, as it was intended to be seen. Anything less is a degradation of the film and its audience.
George Stevens

The college graduate is presented with a sheepskin to cover his intellectual nakedness.
Robert M. Hutchins

The debt of gratitude we owe our mother and father goes forward, not backward. What we owe our parents is the bill presented to us by our children.
Nancy Friday

Norman Granz
