John Updike Zitate

The cinema has done more for my spiritual life than the church. My ideas of fame, success and beauty all originate from the big screen. Whereas Christian religion is retreating everywhere and losing more and more influence; film has filled the vacuum and supports us with myths and action-controlling images.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Das Kino hat für mein geistiges Leben mehr getan als die Kirche. Meine Vorstellungen von Ruhm, Erfolg und Schönheit stammen alle von der großen Leinwand. Die christliche Religion zieht sich überall zurück und verliert immer mehr an Einfluss. Film hat das Vakuum gefüllt und unterstützt uns mit Mythen und aktionskontrollierenden Bildern.

Examples is more forcible than precept. People look at my six days in the week to see what I mean on the seventh.

Robert Cecil

Knowledge, may it be said, is higher than magic and is more to be sought. It is quite possible to see what is happening and yet not know what is forward, for while seeing is believing, it does not follow that either seeing or believing is knowing.

James Stephens

Getting rid of a delusion makes us wiser than getting hold of a truth.
