We have built our State on the freedom of personal adventure.

I look on cinema as a pulpit, and use it as a propagandist.

And, consequently, the art of propaganda or public information becomes one of the most powerful forms of directive statesmanship.

It is often more important to act than to understand... there are times... when two conflicting opinions, though one happens to be right, are more perilous than one opinion which is wrong.

Such manifestations I account as representing the creative leadership of the new forces of thought and appreciation which attend changes in technological pattern and therefore of the pattern of human relationships in society.

My view... would be that we are entering upon a new and interim society which is neither capitalist nor socialist, but in which we can achieve central planning without loss of individual initiative, by the mere process of absorbing initiative in the function of planning.

When quick results are imperative, the manipulation of the masses through symbols may be the only quick way of having a critical thing done.
