Quote by Greg Gerke

“Many Hollywood films don’t do too much except advertise envy. What is so admirable about them is how much art is missing, how much questioning is not there. Stunning it is, how what are celebrated as the best, most innovative films are essentially publicity for the corporate control of the masses. As art they are as distinct as sand from other sand.”

“Şey tırmanırken Dibblerlar ağızları açık, izliyorlardı. Çok hızlı hareket etmiyordu, zaman zaman tutunacağı bir sonraki yeri aramak için gevezelenen Kütüphaneci'yi yakındaki bir desteğe bırakması gerekiyordu, ama yukarıya ilerliyordu. "Ah, evet. Evet. Evet," diye nefes verdi Soll. "Ne resim ama! Saf sinema!" "Çığlıklar atan bir maymunu yüksek bir binanın tepesine taşıyan dev bir kadın," diye içini çekti Dibbler. "Ve ücret ödememiz bile gerekmiyor!" "Yaa," dedi Soll. "Ya..." dedi Dibbler. Sesinde minik bir kararsızlık tınısı vardı. Soll özlem dolu görünüyordu. "Yaa," diye tekrarladı. "Ee." "Ne demek istediğini anlıyorum," dedi Dibbler yavaşça. "Bu... Yani, gerçekten harika, ama... şey, elimde değil..." "Evet, yanlış bir şey var," dedi Dibbler ifadesiz bir sesle. "Yanlış değil," dedi Soll ümitsizce. "Tam olarak yanlış değil. Öyle yanlış değil. Yalnızca eksik..." Söyleyecek söz bulamayarak sustu. İçini çekti. Sonra Dibble içini çekti. Tepede, gök gürültüsü patladı. Ve gökyüzünden, üzerinde çığlık atan iki sihirbaz taşıyan bir süpürge çıktı.”

“The romantic idealism, the self-conscious ‘sentimental’ heroism of chivalry are idealism and heroism at second hand, and originate primarily in the ambition and the deliberation with which this new nobility set about developing the notions of its own peculiar honour. Its zeal is only a sign of unsureness and weakness which the old nobility does not, or at least did not, suffer from as long as uninfluenced by the new, inwardly unstable, company of the knights. This instability shows itself most strikingly in its equivocal attitude to the conventional forms of noble living. On the one hand, it clings to the superficialities and exaggerates the formalities of the aristocratic manner of life; on the other hand, it sets inward nobility of soul above the outward and purely formal nobility of birth and manners. Conscious of its subordinate position, it exaggerates the value of mere forms, but conscious also of possessing capacities equal to or even greater than those of the old aristocracy, it, at the same time, depreciates the value of such forms and of noble birth as such.”
