"Without freedom there is no art."

-- Albert Camus

“At what point did we begin to think excellence is offensive to God?”
“Every trait of beauty may be referred to some virtue, as to innocence, candor, generosity, modesty, or heroism. St. Pierre To cultivate the sense of the beautiful, is one of the most effectual ways of cultivating an appreciation of the divine goodness.”
“Sit down to write what you have thought, and not to think what you shall write.”

“We could not talk or talk forever and still find things to not talk about.”
“in certain crises direct expression of sympathy is the least possible to those who most feel sympathy.”
“The fact that knowledge endlessly recedes as the investigator is about to grasp it is what constitutes at the same time his torment and happiness.”
“The Goonies' is classic. That's, like, the movie I bring with me if I go out of town for a long time, because it just makes me think of the best times I've seen it with my friends growing up. Dude, everybody knows that movie, everybody watches that film. Best family film ever made.”
“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn't.”
