The way to kill a man or a nation is to cut off his dreams, the way the whites are taking care of the Indians: killing their dreams, their magic, their familiar spirits. – William S. Burroughs
Thats what noir feels like to me. It feels like some kind of recurring dream, with very strong archetypes operating. You know, the guilty girl being pursued, falling, all kinds of stuff that we see in our dreams all the time. – Brian De Palma
But it has, in addition, an even more precious quality – a consciousness of the human intelligence, the human spirit and that man is a social creature. – Norman McLaren
