“Everything in nature is lyrical in its ideal essence, tragic in its fate, and comic in its existence.”
“I dont want to create a monster; I want to make something which is new, exceptional, something that only I do...something that references tradition, but is still new.”
“The closer one approaches to God, the simpler one becomes.”
“It is not what you believe that matters; it is how you respond with your heart and your actions. It is not believing in Christ that matters; it is becoming like him”
“I'm obsessed with speed. I'm always asking myself, 'Why can't we do things faster? Why can't it happen more efficiently? Why is this requiring three meetings instead of one?'”
“Whatever story you're telling in Louisiana, the landscape is going to become a character in it.”
“Make time for prayer and reflection; try to understand your value as a man on earth but see, too, your proper place in the scheme of things. It may sound funny to say this, but I have come to see that we are all far more important and less important than we think.”
“We cannot arrive at Shakespeare's whole dramatic way of looking at the world from his tragedies alone, as we can arrive at Milton's way of regarding things, or at Wordsworth's or at Shelley's, by examining almost any one of their important works.”
