Gather together in your heart all terrors, recompose all details. Salvation is a circle; close it!
Nikos Kazantzakis
» Nikos Kazantzakis - all quotes »
Do not close the circle. Leave it open. Descartes closes the circle. Pascal leaves it open. Rousseau's triumph over the encyclopedists is to have left his circle open when they closed theirs.
Jean Cocteau
These new means (in the modern film, 1928, fh) have given us a new mentality. We want to see clearly, we want to understand mechanisms, functions, motors, down to their subtlest details. Composite wholes are no longer enough for us – we want to feel and grasp the details of those wholes – and we realise that these details, these fragments, if seen in isolation, have a complete and particular life of their own.. ..Close-ups in the cinema are a consecration of this new vision.. ..A shoe as beautiful as a picture. A picture as beautiful as an X-ray machine.
Fernand Leger
Draw a circle not a heart cause a heart can break but a circle goes on forever.
Anonymous
The Devil is in the details, but so is salvation.
Hyman G. Rickover
In any war a victory means another war, and yet another, until some day inevitably the tides turn, and the victor is the vanquished, and the circle reverses itself, but remains nevertheless a circle. ... I came home more torn in heart than any child should be, for I saw that each side was right as well as wrong, and I yearned over both in a helpless fashion, unable to see how, history being what it was, anything now could be done.
