More From Stanley Kubrick

So let us decide whether you want a shelter, a safety zone, which will no longer yield conflict, whether you want to escape from the present conflict to enter a condition in which there shall be no conflict; or whether you are unaware, unconscious of this conflict in which you exist. if you are unconscious of the conflict, that is, the battle that is taking place between that self and the environment, if you are unconscious of that battle, then why do you seek further remedies? remain unconscious.
Love Life Truth
If the point of life is the same as the point of a story, the point of life is character transformation. if i got any comfort as i set out on my first story, it was that in nearly every story, the protagonist is transformed. he's a jerk at the beginning and nice at the end, or a coward at the beginning and brave at the end. if the character doesn't change, the story hasn't happened yet. and if story is derived from real life, if story is just condensed version of life then life itself may be designed to change us so that we evolve from one kind of person to another.
Real Nice Character
We should not be discouraged or depressed by our shortcomings. no one is without weakness. as part of the divine plan, we are tested to see whether we master weakness or let weakness master us. proper diagnosis is essential to proper treatment. the lord gave us this remarkable assurance: "because thou hast seen thy weakness thou shalt be made strong" (ether 12:37). but wishing for strength won't make us strong. it takes faith and work to shore up a weakened cord of integrity.

What is a war criminal? was not war itself a crime against god and humanity, and, therefore, were not all those who sanctioned, engineered, and conducted wars, war criminals? war criminals are not confined to the axis powers alone. roosevelt and churchill are no less war criminals than hitler and mussolini. england, america and russia have all of them got their hands dyed more or less red - not merely germany and japan.

One out of 100 citizens of the u.s. is going to prison, and it's not that the system is making criminals, it's that it's making criminals better criminals. we're breeding them like rats and it has to change.

What's interesting to me is drama and conflict. things aren't interesting without conflict and resolution of conflict - or striving towards a resolutions of conflict.

Similar Quotes
Our life is managed from behind the scenes: we are actors in dramas that we cannot interpret. of almost no decisive event can we say: this was our own choosing. we happen upon careers, necessity pushing, blind inclination pulling. if we stop to think we are amazed that we should be what we are.

There's an absolute prejudice that good movies are dramas and comedies are more dismissable. but i couldn't disagree more.

The prodigal son story is, i think, the greatest short-story ever written. it has such drama in it, such great characters, it's so clear and concise, and it's entertaining in the sense that everyone can relate to it. but you have no doubt what our lord was trying to communicate in the heart of that story. so the truth was not sacrificed on the altar of entertainment in that case. and it can be.
