"Movies magnify, so when pictures began talking they magnified words. Somehow, as in the case of opera’s magnification of words, this made them somehow ignorable, like the ground, as if the industrial human species had been looking for a good excuse to get away from words, or looking for an explanation that we do get away, even must.”
--Stanley Cavell, “Nothing Goes without Saying: Reading the Marx Brothers”
