There's a way to preach the Bible unbiblically...You can use the Bible as the springboard for all kinds of ideas, can't you?

Well of course it is because he put it in before he got it out.

The writing is the springboard for your intuitive stuff and then you see, maybe a colour of what you want to achieve. Then you bring in the technique you've learnt. But when you're on film, you're not always in control of that. That's what makes me believe in a kind of collective unconscious, a sort of experience you draw on.
There are no roadblocks, only springboards.

A little bit of pain is good for you. I feel alive. Everybody needs struggle. Once you overcome an obstacle, you springboard into the future. Life is interesting and short and it's not supposed to be easy, and if it is, you're probably just in denial and you're existing here like a zombie.

He is given to every kind of listlessness, but when there is glory to be won he may be inspired with every kind of fury.

At the cry of "la patrie" he enrols, and at the call of liberty he tears up the pavements. Beware of him!
