I would say that no film is apolitical. There are politics in all films. Any film that is anchored in a society, any film that deals with humanity is necessarily political.

She did not send for him until she was afraid; she was not afraid until he undid her work; he did not undo her work until he was past loving her.

Orson Scott Card

Luck can be assisted. It is not all chance with the wise.

Baltasar Gracian

The scientific method is nothing more than a system of rules to keep us from lying to each other.

Ken Norris

I know really, really famous people who are terrified every time they walk on to a stage.

Bill Nighy

Life and death have been lacking in my life.

Jorge Luis Borges

Some are able and humane men and some are low-grade individuals with the morals of a goat, the artistic integrity of a slot machine, and the manners of a floorwalker with delusions of grandeur.

Raymond Chandler

One of the great attractions of patriotism - it fulfills our worst wishes. In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully and cheat. Bully and cheat, what's more, with a feeling that we are profoundly virtuous.

Aldous Huxley

Love, Arthur, is a poodle's chance of attaining the infinite, and personally I have my pride.

LouisFerdinand Celine

Which European leader today would not relish the wonder-working powers of a Moses? Budget deficit? Unpopular cuts? How about just a little miracle, an overnight increase in gold reserves, a new oil field, or the next world-changing communications technology? Surely that's not too much to ask.

Jonathan Sacks

Sometime I'm going to do an essay called 'The Virtues of Amateurism' for all of those people who wish they earned their living in the arts. The market kills more artistic people than anything else. It's a world of safety out there, for most people. They want safety, the magazines and manufacturers give them safety, give them homogeneity, give them the familiar and comfortable, don't challenge them.

Robert James Waller

The poet speaks to all men of that other life of theirs that they have smothered and forgotten.

Dame Edith Sitwell

No doubt there are other important things in life besides conflict, but there are not many other things so inevitably interesting. The very saints interest us most when we think of them as enganged in a conflict with the Devil.

Robert Lynd, The Blue Lion
