Make yourself familiar with the angels, and behold them frequently in spirit; for, without being seen, they are present with you. – St Francis of Sales
If an angel were ever to tell us anything of his philosophy I believe many propositions would sound like 2 times 2 equals 13. – G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenberg
You need a village, if only for the pleasure of leaving it. A village means that you are not alone, knowing that in the people, the trees, the earth, there is something that belongs to you, waiting for you when you are not there. – Casare Pavese

Its up to the courage of the filmmakers to make art in cinema, not just business. John was rejected by studios, he borrowed money and did movies with his own money. Youre either courageous or not. You have to find a way. – Ben Gazzara
I dislike literary jargon and never use it. Criticism has only one function and that is to help readers read and understand literature. It is not a science, it is an aid to art. – Anne Stevenson
