“You should always make it like it's your last film. That's my personal belief. Every filmmaker is going to have another belief... That's the only way I know to try to make a film that might be good.

“To me it seems to be important to believe people to be good even if they tend to be bad, because your own joy and happiness in life is increased that way, and the pleasures of the belief outweigh the occasional disappointments. To be a cynic about people works just the other way around and makes you incapable about enjoying the good things.” PeopleIfsWayBelieveImportantSeemsLife IsJoyBeliefEnjoyPleasureGood ThingsDisappointmentBe GoodIncapableOccasionalLife HappinessJoy And HappinessCynic Book:It's Been a Good Life Source: It's Been a Good Life
“If God causes man to be sick, sickness must be good, and its opposite, health, must be evil, for all that He makes is good and will stand forever. If the transgression of God's law produces sickness, it is right to be sick; and we cannot if we would, and should not if we could, annul the decrees of wisdom. It is the transgression of a belief of mortal mind, not of a law of matter nor of divine Mind, which causes the belief of sickness. The remedy is Truth, not matter,--the truth that disease is unreal.” IfsMenShouldMindMatterLawEvilBeliefCausesForeverProduceDivineDiseaseOppositesSickIllnessBe GoodMortalsSicknessRemedyUnrealDecreeTransgression Author:Mary Baker Eddy
“Conservatives believe government's principal functions are the preservation of freedom and removal of restraints on the individual. Liberalism's ascent in the first two-thirds of this century reflected the new belief that government should also confer capacities on individuals. Liberalism's decline in the final third of this century has reflected doubts about whether government can be good at that, or whether government that is good at that is good for the nation's character.” ShouldFirstsBelieveTwoCharacterGovernmentIndividualBeliefNationsDoubtCenturyCapacityThirdsFunctionFinalsBe GoodLiberalismDeclinePrincipalRestraintPreservationRemovalAscent Author:George Will
