Sanity ... Is The Most Profound Moral

Bored People, Unless They Sleep A Lot, Are Cruel.

No One Ever Confides A Secret To One Person Only. No One Destroys All Copies Of A Document.

There Follows A Little Obscenity Here, A Dash Of Philosophy There, Considerable Whining Overall, And A Modern Satirical Novel Is Born.

The Motion Picture Is Like Journalism In That, More Than Any Of The Other Arts, It Confers Celebrity. Not Just On People - On Acts, And Objects, And Places, And Ways Of Life. The Camera Brings A Kind Of Stardom To Them All. I Therefore Doubt That Film Can Ever Argue Effectively Against Its Own Material: That A Genuine Antiwar Film, Say, Can Be Made On The Basis Of Even The Ugliest Battle Scenes ... No Matter What Filmmakers Intend, Film Always Argues Yes.

The Radical Intelligence In The Moderate Position Is The Only Place Where The Center Holds. Or So It Seems.
