It’s a life of suffering and of hardship and uncompromising devotion to your oath and your duty.”

When I had my burning youth!

A weather-worn, marble triton
Among the streams.”

“Talk to them about things they don’t know. Try to give them an inferiority complex. If the actress is beautiful, screw her. If she isn’t, present her with a valuable painting she will not understand. If they insist on being boring, kick their asses or twist their noses. And that’s about all there is to it.”
—John Huston (1906–1987)
