“You can defeat fear through humor, through pain, through honesty, brav...” — John Cassavetes Quote

“You can defeat fear through humor, through pain, through honesty, bravery, intuition, and through love in the truest sense.”

“I don't care about being on top, about being No. 1. I just make movies for a few suckers in the audience, anyway.”

“I think I'm probably one of the worst directors around, but I do have an interest in my fellow man.”

“The fear of life, the fear of burdens and of duties, of annoyances and of catastrophes! The fear of life, which makes us, through dread of its sufferings, refuse its joys. Ah! I tell you, this cowardliness enrages me; I cannot forgive it. We must live - live a complete life - live all our life.”

“I have often wondered what it was like to be in the trenches during war, knowing that tomorrow morning you have got to go over the top and that you might die and what a surreal feeling, in addition to fear, that might be.”

“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.”
