Art is man's constant effort to create for himself a different order of reality from that which is given to him.

I'm very primitive; I write with a pen.

...when we are comfortable and inattentive, we run the risk of committing grave injustices absentmindedly.

Only the story can continue beyond the war and the warrior. The story outlives the sound of the war drum... The story is our escort. Without it we are blind... It is the thing that sets us apart from cattle.

Serious and good art has always existed to help, to serve, humanity. Not to indict.

I grew up recognizing that there was nobody to give me any advice and that you do your best and if it's not good enough, someday you will come to terms with that.

An angry man is always a stupid man.
