More From Robert Wilson Lynd

I was the lion who forced you to join with aravis. i was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. i was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. i was the lion who gave the horses the new strength of fear for the last mill so that you should reach king lune in time. and i was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you.

We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.

The good thing about england - like, if i were in france, all people would be doing is rubbing my nose in donald trump. as if i voted for him. just rubbing my nose in him. and in england, they'd be rubbing my nose in it too, except for brexit. so that means they can't rub my nose in anything!

It is said that the fear of public speaking is a fear greater than death for most people. according to psychiatrists, the fear of public speaking is caused by the fear of ostracism, the fear of standing out, the fear of criticism, the fear of ridicule, the fear of being an outcast. the fear of being different prevents most people from seeking new ways to solve their problems.

The smaller and younger kids are, the more patient you have to be. but if they're gifted, then it's a wonderful present that you're given by having a child like that in your film... more so than in the case of actors because, for example, if you ask them to play a lion, they don't then play a lion, they actually are a lion. so, a gifted child is something very special. on the other hand, if a child has no gifts in that way it's absolutely hopeless and there's nothing you can do!

Mother Children Thinking
Several years ago my dear wife went to the hospital. she left a note behind for the children: "dear children, do not let daddy touch the microwave" - followed by a comma, "or the stove, or the dishwasher, or the dryer." i'm embarrassed to add any more to that list.

Having children takes the focus off yourself, which i'm really grateful for. i'm so tired of thinking about myself. i'm sick of myself. you feel you want to be there and not miss out on anything. it's a true joy and a very profound love. you can write a book, you can make a movie, you can paint a painting, but having kids is the most extraordinary thing i've ever taken on.
