More quotes by Stanley Kubrick
The dead know only one thing, it is better to be alive
Stanley Kubrick
What do you take me for? A fourteen karat sucker?
Stanley Kubrick
Shooting a movie is the worst milieu for creative work ever devised by man.
Stanley Kubrick
The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning. If it can be written or thought, it can be filmed.
Stanley Kubrick
You either connect or you don't connect. It's not the end of the world. It's a movie.
Stanley Kubrick
However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.
Stanley Kubrick
The truth of a thing is in the feel of it, not in the think of it.
Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick
I've never achieved spectacular success with a film. My reputation has grown slowly. I suppose you could say that I'm a successful filmmaker-in that a number of people speak well of me. But none of my films have received unanimously positive reviews, and none have done blockbuster business.
Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick
It's a mistake to confuse pity with love.
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.
Stanley Kubrick
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Stanley Kubrick
You know, I often thought that the gangster and the artist are the same in the eyes of the masses. They're admired and hero-worshipped but there is always present underlying desire to see them destroyed at the peak of their glory.
Stanley Kubrick
Anybody who runs is a VC. Anybody who stands still is a well-disciplined VC.
Stanley Kubrick
I haven't had one sexual thought since the court martial.
Stanley Kubrick
Private Joker is silly and he's ignorant but he's got guts and guts is enough.
Stanley Kubrick
I'm not afraid of dying tomorrow, only of being killed.
Stanley Kubrick
Critical opinion on my films has always been salvaged by what I would call subsequent critical opinion.
Stanley Kubrick
