I shall always remember it with the profoundest gratitude, though, as it was that May, that last May, in the last of my old summers.”

“Most people live for love and admiration. But it is by love and admiration that we should live. If any love is shown us we should recognise that we are quite unworthy of it. Nobody is worthy to be loved. The fact that God loves man shows us that in the divine order of ideal things it is written that eternal love is to be given to what is eternally unworthy. Or if that phrase seems to be a bitter one to bear, let us say that everyone is worthy of love, except him who thinks that he is. Love is a sacrament that should be taken kneeling, and Domine, non sum dignus should be on the lips and in the hearts of those who receive it.”

That's why I think that making a good documentary is much harder than making a good feature film.”
“Most people look at their homes, and they are trying to decide what things cosmetically they want to do.
