And shall I, can I, silent be? Charles Spurgeon

Therefore to talk about biodynamic gardening, biodynamic horticulture, biodynamic agriculture and the French intensive system is merely a horrible heading of terminology. Alan Chadwick

When I start on a film I always have a number of ideas about my project. Then one of them begins to germinate, to sprout, and it is this, which I take and work with.

It is to make it nurture and grow that I write my script- it is directing it that makes my tree blossom and bear fruit. Akira Kurosawa
