God has a hard-on for a Marine because we kill everything we see. He plays His game, we play ours. - Stanley Kubrick
Here's to five miserable months on the wagon and the irreparable harm that it's caused me. - Stanley Kubrick
How could we possibly appreciate the Mona Lisa if Leonardo had written at the bottom of the canvas: 'The lady is smiling because she is hiding a secret from her lover.' This would shackle the viewer to reality, and I don't want this to happen to 2001. - Stanley Kubrick
I never learned anything at all in school and didn't read a book for pleasure until I was 19 years old. - Stanley Kubrick
I've never laid a cane on the back of a lord before, but if you force me to I shall speedily become used to the practice. - Stanley Kubrick
If you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered. - Stanley Kubrick

The choice is ours. - Stanley Kubrick
The great nations have always acted like gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes. - Stanley Kubrick

There are few things more fundamentally encouraging and stimulating than seeing someone else die. - Stanley Kubrick
You have not yet learned that in this life you have to be like everyone else: the perfect mediocrity--no better, no worse. Individuality is a monster and it must be strangled in its cradle to make our friends feel comfortable. - Stanley Kubrick
And I love a scary movie. It makes your toes curl and it's not you going through it. - Anthony Hopkins
