Orson Welles
Image
The camera is much more than a recording apparatus, it is a medium via which messages reach us from another world.
Orson Welles
Image
I hate women, hate them generally, not in particular but in an abstract way. I hate them because one never really learns anything about them. They are inscrutable.
