“In the first week of the showings of the The Matrix Revolutions, The Godfather and The Godfather Part II played on cable television. I started watching, and I was held; I wanted to go through the process again. Can anyone credit that 30 years from now there will be an audience for the three parts of The Matrix, anywhere? Even if Keanu Reeves is our president by then?” IfsYearsFirstsWantedFilmThreeProcessPresidentAudienceWeekTelevisionRevolutionHollywoodCreditCables Author:Edward Jay Epstein

“No single man makes history. History cannot be seen, just as one cannot see grass growing. Wars and revolutions, kings and Robespierres, are history's organic agents, its yeast. But revolutions are made by fanatical men of action with one-track mind, geniuses in their ability to confine themselves to a limited field. They overturn the old order in a few hours or days, the whole upheaval takes a few weeks or at most years, but the fanatical spirit that inspired the upheavals is worshiped for decades thereafter, for centuries.” MenYearsMindMadeWarWholeActionSpiritOrderHoursAbilityGrowingWeekCenturyFieldsRevolutionGeniusKingsInspiredTrackDecadesAgentsGrassUpheavalSingle ManYeastGrass Growing Author:Boris Pasternak
