Quote by Neil LaBute

“There were certain things that I watched, and I screened a series of period films as well, not because I wanted to copy those, because I wanted to be different. “Far from the Madding Crowd” was one I looked to because I thought it looked so good. “Doctor Zhivago.” Unrequited love is always a great thing. “Tess” was something I looked at, I thought Polanski got the period right.”

It is as if we caught a glimpse of some incredibly beautiful world that lies silently about us all the time.”

“You are present in your life on earth at this moment for the purposes of living, loving, learning, and growing.
