"Since 'the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force' (Mt. 11:12), and it is impossible for the faithful to enter it by any other way, unless they come through the narrow gate of trials and tribulations, the divine oracle rightly commands us, saying: 'Strive to enter by the narrow door' (Lk. 13:24). Again He says, 'By your endurance you will gain your souls' (Lk. 21:19), and, 'Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of heaven' (Acts 14:22)."

Some even hint that the democratic capitalistic society is not just a phase in the historical evolution of economic systems but its ultimate end.”

“My father died at 42, of a heart attack. My mother was 32 then. She never wanted to be a victim. And that really resonated as a nine-year-old child. And one of the most revealing things was, very soon after my father died - he was in real estate and he owned some modest buildings - they came to my mother, the men that worked for him, and they said, "You don't have to worry. We will run the business and we will take care of you." And my mother said, "No, you won't. You will teach me how to run the business and I will take care of it and my children."”

“Revenge is never a straight line. It's a forest, and like a forest it's easy to lose your way... to get lost... to forget where you came in.”
“If you are truly involved in a film and if you are going to do any kind of good work, you have to have that full commitment to the work. If you aren't willing to do that, or if that is not in your nature, I say steer clear of it.”
