FAVORITE QUOTES: “If Jesus were here today, there is one thing he wouldn't be: A Christian — Mark Twain "The United States was in no way founded as a Christian nation." — John Adams “When science finally locates the center of the universe, some people will be surprised to learn they’re not it.” — Sun Magazine “The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.” — Rita Mae Brown "Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will." — Jawaharlal Nehru “Don’t dwell on reality; it will only keep you from greatness.” — Rev. Randall R. McBride, Jr. "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." — Robert Heinlein "All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry." — Edgar Allan Poe "I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity." — Edgar Allan Poe "I love studying Ancient History and seeing how empires rise and fall, sowing the seeds of their own destruction." — Martin Scorsese "More personal films, you could make them, but your budgets would be cut down." — Martin Scorsese "I only work with actors who take full responsibility for their characters." — Jonathan Demme "Be true to your work, your word, and your friend." — Henry David Thoreau "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler." — Henry David Thoreau (Here's some of my own) "Life is like a long series of doors; some are open, others you have to open yourself." "The greatest folly of mankind is letting the Church become the State." "Theocracy leads to disaster. Theocracy led to the Great Schism, the Inquisition, the Salem Witch Trials, and the travesties known as the Crusades and the Jihad." "Hatred is Cowardice." "If you darken your mind with dark thoughts and darken your hearts with dark feelings, you will leave this world with a pitch black soul." AND FROM MY IDOL STANLEY KUBRICK: "It's a mistake to confuse pity with love." "Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all." "The great nations have always acted like gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes." "If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed." "A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist has when he buys himself some paper." "If you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered." NOTE: I want to thank my loyal readers who help me get better with my writing. Also, I am an award-winning filmmaker as well.
