Humanity cherishes its swaddling clothes but it shall not grow up unless it can free itself from them. Turning down his mother's breast does not make the weaned child ungrateful. ... Rise up naked, valiant make the sheaths crack push aside the stakes to grow straight you need no more than the thrust of your sap and the call of the sun.

If it were true that men could achieve their good by means of turning some men into sacrificial animals, and ... if I were asked to serve the interests of society apart from, above and against my own I would refuse...

If you are making a script based on a book it can be frustrating going back to the source novel, because you're turning the story into a totally different thing the narrative of film is different from that of a book.

In California we froze property taxes, school size increased, test scores declined, and there was a massive middle-class white flight to private schools. We're turning into Victorian England at a very rapid rate.

It's turning out to be a bad day, a day when the sun feels like teeth.

The capacity for people to kid themselves is huge. Living on illusions or delusions, and the re-establishing of these illusions or delusions requires a big effort to keep them from being seen through. But a very old idea is at work behind our current state of affairs: enantiodromia, or the Greek notion of things turning into their opposite.

I used to dream about turning back time, about reclaiming the things I'd lost and the person I used to be.
Alexandra Bracken

A book is a book, but a movie is a movie. The more faithful you are, the more you'll come up with Harry Potter #1 and #2, which are like filmed books on tape. They're so petrified of turning off the readers that they make no concessions to the fact that they're trying to make a piece of cinema.
