I think there's a poet who wrote once a tragedy by Shakespeare, a symphony by Beethoven and a thunderstorm are based on the same elements. I think that's a beautiful line.

I think all the poets and artists have always written for peace and love, and it hasn’t changed much in the last two or three thousand years. But we hope.

First love is first love, first marriage is first marriage, disappointment is disappointment.

And in reality, I don't think it's a real documentary. It's more a story of her life. It's a story of survival. It's a story of the time in which she lived. The story of success and failure.

A conversation goes sometimes into personal things and that's nicer. You look to each other and you have a different picture, you get into a relationship.

The interesting thing is that I found scenes which I put together which could appeal to almost every woman, or apply to almost every woman after the war. Falling in love, dancing, marrying.

Im always happy when Im left alone, but if somebody comes and is nice, then we talk.

Who said to kill does not require gentleness?

It’s is not just a question of doing what you love for a living. It is a matter of doing what you love with love. Then your life and all lives will be transformed.

Before God, I'm an intimate. Before people, I'm a servant. Before the powers of hell, I'm a ruler, with no tolerance for their influence. Wisdom knows which role to fulfill at the proper time

All government, in its essence, is a conspiracy against the superior man: its one permanent object is to oppress him and cripple him.

Conquering the world with words, leading the children like herds.

Abbott's Admonitions: (1) If you have to ask, you're not entitled to know. (2) If you don't like the answer, you shouldn't have asked the question.

We hope there is a sense of purpose in everything.

That's the whole point of life, you know? To meet new people.

The prudent capitalist will never adventure his capital . . . if there exists a state of uncertainty as to whether the Government will repeal tomorrow what it has enacted today.
