Art consists of reshaping life but it does not create life, nor cause life.
Stanley Kubrick
Image
Busy people begrudge the days being short. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning.
Stanley Kubrick
Image
The world's religions, for all their parochialism, did supply a kind of consolation for this great ache. This shattering recognition of our mortality is at the root of far more mental illness than I suspect even psychiatrists are aware.
