Stanley Kubrick

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

The artist is a man who has to create a new way of looking at the world.

I'm not interested in making films for critics. I'm interested in making films for audiences, and if they like them, that's all that matters.

I've always been fascinated by the dark side of human nature. I think it's important to explore that, to understand it, even if it's uncomfortable.

The world is a stage, and all the men and women merely players.

The most important thing is to never stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence.

I don't believe in happy endings. I believe in realistic endings, and sometimes realism is not happy.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

I think that art should be disturbing, it should make you question things, it should make you uncomfortable.

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

I'm not interested in making films that are easy to categorize. I want to make films that defy categorization.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

The only thing that is constant is change.

I don't think that films should provide answers. I think they should raise questions.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

I think that the most important thing for a filmmaker is to have a strong vision and to stick to it, no matter what.
