“Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.”

“Faith is an excitement and an enthusiasm: it is a condition of intellectual magnificence to which we must cling as to a treasure, and not squander on our way through life in the small coin of empty words, or in exact and priggish argument.”

“The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.”

“If you consider film an art form, as some people do, then the Western would be a truly American art form, much as jazz is.”

“Mournful and yet grand is the destiny of the artist.”
