Stanley Kubrick
All my life I've always spoiled the things that meant the most to me.
Stanley Kubrick
The dead know only one thing, it is better to be alive
Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
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
The destruction of this planet would have no significance on a cosmic scale.
Stanley Kubrick
