“The gladdest moment in human life, methinks, is a departure into unknown lands.” – Sir Richard Burton

"There were two sides to David Lean: on the one side, he was kind of a rather stiff, disciplined Englishman. And then he had this kind of romantic side to him. I think being true to both sides of your nature is important."

"I look at the story, I look at the idea and just try to think of it in terms of that whole body of myth and see where the characters fit in and what they ought to be doing - all those archetypes are there to play with."

- John Boorman

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. ~Charles Dickens

Do not protect yourself by a fence, but rather by your friends. -Czech Proverb

You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you. - Dale Carnegie

"[meatwadsprite,] I would not think of quarreling with your interpretation nor offering any other, as I have found it always the best policy to allow the film to speak for itself."

"The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle."

"It's crazy how you can get yourself in a mess sometimes and not even be able to think about it with any sense and yet not be able to think about anything else."

"I don't think that writers or painters or filmmakers function because they have something they particularly want to say. They have something that they feel. And they like the art form; they like words, or the smell of paint, or celluloid and photographic images and working with actors. I don't think that any genuine artist has ever been oriented by some didactic point of view, even if he thought he was."

- Stanley Kubrick

Consider this my Christmas quote...

"No family. No girlfriend. No friends. No love. No hope. No point. AND SANTA CLAUS IS DEAD! I KILLED HIM! *grabs crotch* I KILLED HIM WITH THIS!! AND I LEFT HIS STINKING CORPSE IN AN UNDERGROUND CAVERN WHERE IT IS RAPED BY HUNDREDS OF TOXIC-EFFLUENT-CRAZED GILA MONSTERS EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY!"

- Spider Jerusalem
