There is greatness in everyone.

They cheer me because they all understand me, and they cheer you because no one understands you.

We must laugh in the face of our helplessness against the forces of nature, or go insane.

I should like to help everyone if possible; Jew, Gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone, and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful.

Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security.

Despair is a narcotic. It lulls the mind into indifference.

All my pictures are built around the idea of getting in trouble and so giving me the chance to be desperately serious in my attempt to appear as a normal little gentleman.
