Stanley Kubrick
The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning.
Stanley Kubrick
Be suspicious of people who have, or crave, power. Never, ever go near power. Don't become friends with anyone who has real power. It's dangerous.
Stanley Kubrick
[Making movies] you're not trying to capture reality, you're trying to capture a photograph of reality.
Stanley Kubrick
Bad films gave me the courage to try making a movie
Stanley Kubrick
