Conflict Quotes

“The world is rapidly being divided into two camps, the comradeship of anti-Christ and the brotherhood of Christ. The lines between these two are being drawn.

But in a conflict between truth and darkness, truth cannot lose.”

“The director’s task is to recreate life, its movement, its contradictions, its dynamic and conflicts.
