“Let us be true: this is the highest maxim of art and of life, the secret of eloquence and of virtue, and of all moral authority.”

“Any landscape is a condition of the spirit.”

“The only substance properly so called is the soul.”

“I think I can speak with a degree of authority... today, the biggest driving force of movies is pace; God help you if you try to put in a scene that is about character and not plot.”

“For thousands of years, humans believed that authority came from the gods. Then, during the modern era, humanism gradually shifted authority from deities to people.”

“Authority pisses me off. I think everyone should be able to drink and get loud whenever they want.”
