- On Guadalcanal, I was coming back from the airfield to the work party. Jap planes came in dropping five hundred pounders while we were out in the open. All we could do was jump into a slit trench and cover up. There ws this guy, I didn’t know him. He was tucked in behind me. I could feel his heart beating, his lungs fighting for air, his lips on my back as he prayed to God to keep him alive. He believed God would save him. Jesus, I envied him! [draws in breath] Thanks for the smokes. There’s nothing to do in here but smoke.

I don’t like the idea of “understanding” a film. I don’t believe that rational understanding is an essential element in the reception of any work of art. Either a film has something to say to you or it hasn’t. If you are moved by it, you don’t need it explained to you. If not, no explanation can make you moved by it.

Когда так много позади всего, в особенности - горя, поддержки чьей-нибудь не жди, сядь в поезд, высадись у моря.

When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I’m already better than them.

Fear isn’t so difficult to understand. After all, weren’t we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf. What frightens us today is exactly the same sort of thing that frightened us yesterday. It’s just a different wolf. This fright complex is rooted in every individual.

Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.

Поддерживай близких тебе людей, шепчи им на ухо, как они тебе нужны, люби их и обращайся с ними бережно, найди время для того, чтобы сказать: "Мне жаль", "Прости меня, пожалуйста", "Спасибо", и все те слова любви, которые ты знаешь. Никто не запомнит тебя за твои мысли.
