Strana 28 - O temps! suspends ton vol; et vous, heures propices! Suspendez votre cours : Laissez-nous savourer les rapides délices Des plus beaux de nos jours!

Strana 69 - The whole film, as a matter of fact, is the story of a persuasion: it deals with a reality which the hero creates out of his own vision, out of his own words.
Strana 37 - Thus their initial exchange is allegorical. In short, an operatic exchange. Impossible to talk about Hiroshima. All one can do is talk about the impossibility of talking about Hiroshima.
Strana 8 - After having been successively a fairground attraction, an amusement analogous to boulevard theater, or a means of preserving the images of an era, it is gradually becoming a language.
