Christopher Hampton Quotes

A great number of the disappointments and mishaps of the troubled world are the direct result of literature and the allied arts. It is our belief that no human being who devotes his life and energy to the manufacture of fantasies can be anything but fundamentally inadequate Picture Quote #1

I find I have to give myself a day when I just shut myself off and do nothing but read Picture Quote #1

I love films. If I’d known how to get into or do it from the word go, I would have done that Picture Quote #1
