More From William Hazlitt

The only idea man can affix to the name of god, is that of a first cause, the cause of all things. and, incomprehensibly difficult as it is for a man to conceive what a first cause is, he arrives at the belief of it, from the tenfold greater difficulty of disbelieving it. it is difficult beyond description to conceive that space can have no end; but it is more difficult to conceive an end. it is difficult beyond the power of man to conceive an eternal duration of what we call time; but it is more impossible to conceive a time when there shall be no time.

Nothing is demonstrable, unless the contrary implies a contradiction. nothing, that is distinctly conceivable, implies a contradiction. whatever we conceive as existent, we can also conceive as non-existent. there is no being, therefore, whose non-existence implies a contradiction. consequently there is no being, whose existence is demonstrable.

The industrial and social injustice of our era is the tragic aftermath of democracy's overemphasis on freedom as the "right to do whatever you please." no, freedom means the right to do what you ought, and ought implies law, and law implies justice, and justice implies god. so too in war, a nation that fights for freedom divorced from justice has no right to war, because it does not know why it wants to be free, or why it wants anyone else to be free.

Somebody has to go polish the stars, they're looking a little bit dull. somebody has to go polish the stars, for the eagles and starlings and gulls have all been complaining they're tarnished and worn, they say they want new ones we cannot afford. so please get your rags and your polishing jars, somebody has to go polish the stars.

To me the only real star of the movie is the writer. and i work with writers very closely, from outline to first draft and on to the seventh draft, whatever it takes. then my job is to support the director to make the best movie we can. some producers try to go past them, but my job is to support them.

It was an eight-harlot inn, if that's how you measure an inn. (i understand that now they measure inns in stars. we are in a four-star inn right now. i don't know what the conversion from harlots to stars is.)

If one of your best friends is making a star wars movie, you're not gonna not abuse that privilege. i defy anybody to say otherwise!

Reason elevates our thoughts as high as the stars, and leads us through the vast space of this mighty fabric; yet it comes far short of the real extent of our corporeal being.
