Famous quotes containing the word script:

    Take what the old-church
    found in Mithra’s tomb,
    candle and script and bell,

    and broke and shattered.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    If it’s a good script I’ll do it. And if it’s a bad script, and they pay me enough, I’ll do it.
    George Burns (b. 1896)

    I long to create something
    that can’t be used to keep us passive:
    I want to write
    a script about plumbing, how every pipe
    is joined
    to every other.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
