Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick
Nothing is as dangerous as a sure thing.
Stanley Kubrick
Here's to five miserable months on the wagon and the irreparable harm that it's caused me.
Stanley Kubrick
The great nations have always acted like gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes.
Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick
Everything has already been done. every story has been told every scene has been shot. it’s our job to do it one better.

Stanley Kubrick
If you can talk brilliantly about a problem
Stanley Kubrick
A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction.
Stanley Kubrick
[Making movies] you're not trying to capture reality, you're trying to capture a photograph of reality.
Stanley Kubrick
Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities?
Stanley Kubrick
I've never laid a cane on the back of a lord before, but if you force me to I shall speedily become used to the practice.
Stanley Kubrick
However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.
Stanley Kubrick
I haven't had one sexual thought since the court martial.
Stanley Kubrick
The truth of a thing is in the feel of it, not in the think of it.
Stanley Kubrick
I never learned anything at all in school and didn't read a book for pleasure until I was 19 years old.
Stanley Kubrick
