Io non sono un duro. Non lo sono mai stato. In vita mia, se devo essere completamente sincero, credo di non aver mai preso una decisione. Non mi piacciono molto le decisione. Per decidere devi essere convinto, e io non sono convinto quasi di niente. Sono più un tipo da opzioni, ecco.

We must think beyond ourselves

Kevin J. Anderson

All things truly wicked start from an innocence.

Ernest Hemingway

After all, most writing is done away from the typewriter, away from the desk. I'd say it occurs in the quiet, silent moments, while you're walking or shaving or playing a game, or whatever, or even talking to someone you're not vitally interested in.

Henry Miller

If religious instruction were not allowed until the child had attained the age of reason, we would be living in a quite different world.

Christopher Hitchens

The life of the cenobite is a human problem. When we speak of convents, those seats of error but innocence, of mistaken views but good intentions, of ignorance but devotion, of torment but martyrdom, we must nearly always say yes or no...The monastery is a renunciation. Self-sacrifice, even when misdirected, is still self-sacrifice. To assume as duty a strict error has its peculiar grandeur.

Victor Hugo

Speak little and well if you wish to be esteemed a person of merit.

Proverb

I never want to make a film. I don't wake up in the morning going, 'Ooh, I'd really love to be on set making a film today'. I'm aware that other contemporary film directors perceive film-making as what they do, as what they have to do. But I would hope that I am more catholic in my tastes.

Stephen Daldry

The smallest feline is a masterpiece.

Leonardo da Vinci

My mother was passionate. She was stubborn, the dominant one in the family. She dominated my father.

Hugh Leonard

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to save the world and a desire to savor the world. That makes it hard to plan the day.

E.B. (Elwyn Brooks) White

A people always ends by resembling its shadow.

Rudyard Kipling

I say that justice is truth in action.

Benjamin Disraeli
