Quote by Jonathan Sacks

The faith religious believers have in God is small compared to the faith people put in politicians, knowing how many times they have been disappointed in the past but still insisting that this time it will be different.

The faith religious believers have in God is small compared

Summary

This quote highlights the paradoxical nature of human faith. It suggests that despite numerous disappointments and unfulfilled promises by politicians, people continue to place greater trust in them than in their religious faith. It implies that the faith individuals have in politicians may stem from a sense of hope or desire for change, even though past experiences may suggest otherwise. Ultimately, the quote suggests that human faith can sometimes be influenced more strongly by tangible and temporal factors, rather than deeply held spiritual beliefs.

Charles Laughton, who's a great hero of mine, only ever made

Charles Laughton, who's a great hero of mine, only ever made one film and it happens to be one of the great films ever, which is 'The Night of the Hunter.' It's full of his kind of imagination and creation and how you do things and just in the way he used the studio, I just thought it was a fantastical way of using the studio.
