“Don't ever sell mankind short by saying there's anything he can't do, ever, or anything that he isn't going to do.” Quote by Fredric Brown
“Justice is always naive and self-confident; believing that it will immediately win once recognized. That is the reason why the forces of Justice are so poorly organized. On the other hand, the Evil is cynic, sly and fantastically organized. It never ever has the illusion of the ability to stand on its own feet and to win in a fair competition. That is why it is ready to use any kind of means without hesitation. And of course it does - under the banners of the most noble ideas.” BelieveKindMeanDoeIdeasSelfReasonUseHandsCoursesEvilWinningForceJusticeAbilityFeetReadyIllusionFairsCompetitionNobleReason WhyOrganizedNaiveHesitationBannerCynicSlySelf Confident Author:Vladimir Bukovsky

“We have to move away from the concept of screening in cinemas. This can be achieved with the new technologies. I enjoy my films and the fact that I can include you in them as well. Cinema is only a small part of a much greater phenomenon. We transcend the barriers of culture. DVDs' image quality and longevity provide us with new prospects. They are a powerful medium.

“An American critic wrote that she would rather be forced to read the New York telephone directory three times than watch the film A Zed and Two Noughts, a third of which was a homage to Vermeer. Conceivably, if you are a list-enthusiast like me, the New York telephone directory might be fascinating, demographically, geographically, historically, typographically, cartographically; but I am sure no compliment was intended.” IfsTwoMightFilmThreeWatchesNew YorkThirdsCriticsListsLike MeFascinatingComplimentTelephonesThree TimesHomageVermeer Author:Peter Greenaway
