Quote by J. W. Eagan

Never judge a book by its movie.

Never judge a book by its movie.

Summary

This quote is a reminder to not pass judgment or form opinions about a book solely based on its film adaptation. Movies often condense and simplify the story, often sacrificing depth and nuance found in the original book. A book allows for an immersive experience, offering more detailed characterization, internal thoughts, and subtle themes that may not translate effectively on screen. Therefore, it encourages one to read the book first before making any conclusions about its quality or value based on its movie adaptation.

Most critical writing is drivel and half of it is dishonest. It is a short cut to oblivion, anyway. Thinking in terms of ideas destroys the power to think in terms of emotions and sensations.

FÃ¼r Sabina bedeutet Leben Sehen. Das Sehen wird durch zwei Pole begrenzt: das grelle, blendende Licht und das absolute Dunkel. [] Extreme markieren Grenzen, hinter denen das Leben zu ende geht, und die Leidenschaft fÃ¼r Extreme, in der Kunst wie in der Politik, ist eine verschleierte Todessehnsucht.
