Famous quotes containing the word straight:

    “You should look straight at a film; that’s the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.”
    —Werner Herzog (b. 1942)

    “The butterfly’s attractiveness derives not only from colors and symmetry: deeper motives contribute to it. We would not think them so beautiful if they did not fly, or if they flew straight and briskly like bees, or if they stung, or above all if they did not enact the perturbing mystery of metamorphosis: the latter assumes in our eyes the value of a badly decoded message, a symbol, a sign.”
    —Primo Levi (1919–1987)

    “I feel perfectly miserable with 19 hairpins all sticking straight into my head. But, dear me, let us be elegant or die!”
    —Victor Heerman (1893–1977)
