More from Stanley Kubrick
"The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference, then our existence as a species can be meaningful."
"I've got a peculiar weakness for criminals and artists. Neither takes life as it is. Any tragic story has to be in conflict with things as they are."
"What I'm trying to do is make films that are a little bit ahead of their time, that will still be relevant in twenty or thirty years."
"I don't believe in God, but I'm not an atheist. I'm an agnostic. I don't know if there's a God or not, and I don't think anyone else does either."
"If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse."
