"The great nations have always acted like gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes." ― Stanley Kubrick Topic(s): Great More From Stanley Kubrick "A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later." "The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle." "A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist has when he buys himself some paper." More In Great "When you have a great and difficult task, something perhaps almost impossible, if you only work a little at a time, every day a little, suddenly the work will finish itself."― Isak Dinesen "A cloudy day or a little sunshine have as great an influence on many constitutions as the most recent blessings or misfortunes."― Joseph Addison "The man who never dreams, goes slowly mad."― Thomas Dolby
