Yn Quotes

Everyone writes in Tolstoy's shadow, whether one feels oneself to be Tolstoyan or not. His influence on the dissident writers of the Soviet Uniton was enormous. Figures like Grossman or Solzhenitsyn, although their language is less elevated, were dominated by a Tolstoyan desire to use fiction to tell the truth of history Picture Quote #1

I'm not the type of guy who enjoys one night stands. It leaves me feeling very empty and cynical. It's not even fun sexually. I need to feel something for the woman and entertain the vain hope that it may lead to a relationship Picture Quote #1

I have prepared one of my own [time capsule]. I have placed some rather large samples of dynamite, gunpowder, and nitroglycerin. My time capsule is set to go off in the year 3000. It will show them what we are really like Picture Quote #1

A lot of people... Kind of make heroes that are separate from us, people who are, you know, like... John Wayne and Errol Flynn and, you know, denzel Washington... People who are different, who are larger than life Picture Quote #1

I think there ought to be a club in which preachers and journalists could come together and have the sentimentalism of the one matched with the cynicism of the other. That ought to bring them pretty close to the truth Picture Quote #1

Mr. Goldwyn's secretary was cleaning out his file cabinets on day. She asked Samuel if she could toss out the files that have been inactive for more than 10 years. He answered, 'Of course, but make sure you keep copies.' Picture Quote #1

Before you start production, you have characters you have created without actors in mind, then all of a sudden you've got actors. They bring an enormous amount in creating these characters, and creating the dynamics between the characters that you've written Picture Quote #1

I can talk endlessly about characters, or why someone did this or that, and what that dynamic and interaction is. I really love it, and I think that actors really respond positively to the fact that I like to talk about that stuff, because I'm not sure that all directors do Picture Quote #1

Some major writers have a huge impact, like Ayn Rand, who to my mind is a lousy fiction writer because her writing has no compassion and virtually no humor. She has a philosophical and economical message that she is passing off as fiction, but it really isn't fiction at all Picture Quote #1

Man will become immeasurably stronger, wiser, and subtler; his body will become more harmonious, his movements more rhythmic, his voice more musical. The forms of life will become dynamically dramatic. The average human type will rise to the heights of an Aristotle, a Goethe, or a Marx. And above these heights, new peaks will rise Picture Quote #1

In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber. So long as it receives a message of beauty, hope, cheer, and courage - so long are you young. When the wires are all down and our heart is covered with the snow of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and only then, are you grown old Picture Quote #1

My childhood here... Was very limited. So it was a long, long time before I actually went out to Brooklyn Picture Quote #1

He stuck a camera down my throat... Ewwww, I gagged!!! It was kinda funny though.... He said I have Acute Laryngitis Picture Quote #1

In July 1944, at the Mount Washington Hotel in the resort town of Bretton Woods in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, john Maynard Keynes and Harry Dexter White created the New World Order Picture Quote #1

I do dumb stuff, like playing my favorite dumb Barry White song and lip synching into the mirror so it looks like his voice is coming out of my mouth Picture Quote #1

Look at Jessica Simpson. She's famous for being dumb. I guess it started with Marylyn Monroe, and she actually wasn't that dumb, but that's how she was perceived - and that's what got popular Picture Quote #1

The cynics in life are the people who are always trying to do things for people who don't want things done for them Picture Quote #1

I am an anarchist in politics and an impressionist in art as well as a symbolist in literature. Not that I understand what these terms mean, but I take them to be all merely synonyms of pessimist Picture Quote #1

The enterprise of Adolf Hitler, with all it's clatter and fireworks, and all it's cunning and dynamic energy, is the enterprise of an evil spirit, which is apparently allowed it's freedom for a time in order to test our faith in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ Picture Quote #1

I can work in films as long as the story doesn't have a realistic nature. If I'm working with an allegory, a fantasy, it can be developed in synthetic terms Picture Quote #1

It had been held that the economic system, any capitalist system, found it's equilibrium at full employment. Left to itself, it was thus that it came to rest. Idle men and idle plant were an aberration, a wholly temporary failing. Keynes showed that the modern economy could as well find it's equilibrium with continuing, serious unemployment. Its perfectly normal tendency was to what economists have since come to call an underemployment equilibrium Picture Quote #1

In Europe and the United States the two decades following the Second World War will for long be remembered as a very good time, the time when capitalism really worked. Everywhere in the industrialized countries production increased. Unemployment was everywhere low. Prices were nearly stable. When production lagged and unemployment rose, governments intervened to take up the slack, as Keynes had urged Picture Quote #1

World War II revealed two of the enduring features of the Keynesian Revolution. One was the moral difference between spending for welfare and spending for war. During the Depression very modest outlays for the unemployed seemed socially debilitating, economically unsound. Now expenditures many times greater for weapons and soldiers were perfectly safe. It's a difference that still persists Picture Quote #1

The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day, but over and over again - and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife Picture Quote #1

He hated the men floating in sleep in the big stone houses. Because their lives were ordered and their rooms tidy. Because they got up every morning and did their public work. Because they weren't going to dynamite their factories and have naked parties in the fire Picture Quote #1

Love is the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world... Love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis Picture Quote #1

She felt his flame; but deep within her breast, in bashful coyness or in maiden pride, the soft return concealed Picture Quote #1

The comedy community is very friendly right now. I think that's why you see all the synergy and people doing each other's movies Picture Quote #1

Everyone, whether he is self-denying or self-indulgent, is seeking after the beloved. Every place may be the shrine of love, whether it be mosque or synagogue Picture Quote #1

After making several tragic movies in a row, I was looking to do a comedy, and one without cynicism Picture Quote #1
