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

"I'm not a religious person, but I'm very interested in what makes people believe in things."
"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing."
"I don't believe in happy endings. I believe in realistic endings, and sometimes realism is not happy."
"The biggest lie in the world is that you can't do something."
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.
