The very meaning of life is that it is a struggle. We are put on earth to struggle, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

More from Stanley Kubrick
"The truth of a thing is in the feeling of it, not in the thinking of it."
"The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it goes along, even when the mind wants to wander."
"The condition of man is to be in a state of perpetual struggle, and it is through this struggle that he finds his identity."
"I think the best plots are the ones that are not too obvious, that are sort of hidden in the subtext, so that you have to think about them a bit."
"However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light."
About Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999)
American filmmaker (2001: A Space Odyssey, Dr. Strangelove, The Shining) whose perfectionist year-long shoots and 100-take method redefined auteurist cinema. Closely associated with Orson Welles (auteur predecessor and Citizen Kane director) and Steven Spielberg (younger collaborator (A.I. Artificial Intelligence)). For an intellectual contrast, see Quentin Tarantino, postmodern American filmmaker — Kubrick's films erase influences into singular monolithic vision; Tarantino's foreground every reference as a deliberate tribute. The two opposite ways auteurist cinema can be made.
