More From Benjamin Franklin

The statue of liberty was never meant to be a symbol of immigration. it was meant to be a symbol of liberty and freedom. lady liberty is stepping forward. she is meant to be carrying the torch of liberty from the united states to the rest of the world. the torch is not to light the way to the united states. it is to light the way to liberty to the rest of the world. lady liberty is carrying the light of liberty to the rest of the world. it is not a beacon for immigrants to get to this country because they're tired, they're poor, they're huddled, hungry, or thirsty.
Country Tired Liberty
Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security.
Giving Up Liberty Security
Those who give up liberty for the sake of security, deserve neither liberty nor security.
Giving Up Liberty Sake
Is the relinquishment of the trial by jury and the liberty of the press necessary for your liberty? will the abandonment of your most sacred rights tend to the security of your liberty? liberty, the greatest of all earlthy blessings - give us that precious jewel, and you may take every things else! . . . guard with jealous attention the public liberty. suspect every one who approaches that jewel.
Freedom Jealous Blessing
I am worried about this word, this notion - security. i see this word, hear this word, feel this word everywhere. security check. security watch. security clearance. why has all this focus on security made me feel so much more insecure? ... why are we suddenly a nation and a people who strive for security above all else?
Insecure People Focus
Liberty is of small value to the lower third of humanity. they greatly prefer security, which means protection by some class above them. they are always in favor of despots who promise to feed them. the only liberty an inferior man really cherishes is the liberty to quit work, stretch out in the sun, and scratch himself.

And so i look back on not just the last ten years but everything that i've done as being sort of an ongoing growing continual film school. i mean i don't think i've got to a point where i've achieved anything that feels like, a particular milestone, but there's still a lot more to learn and hopefully a lot more films to make.
