One can bear anything of which one is able to conceive.

A philosophy is characterized more by the formulation of its problem than by its solution of them.

The limits of thought are not so much set from outside, by the fullness or poverty of experiences that meet the mind, as from within, by the power of conception, the wealth of formulative notions with which the mind meets experiences.

Philosophical questions are not by their nature insoluble. They are, indeed, radically different from scientific questions, because they concern the implications and other interrelations of ideas, not the order of physical events; their answers are interpretations instead of factual reports, and their function is to increase not our knowledge of nature, but our understanding of what we know.

As comedy presents the vital rhythm of self-preservation, tragedy exhibits that of self-consummation.

Cinema is like dream.

Language is, without a doubt, the most momentous and at the same time the most mysterious product of the human mind.
