religious communication successful
I think Bergman's films have eternal relevance, because they deal with the difficulty of personal relationships and lack of communication between people and religious aspirations and mortality, existential themes that will be relevant a thousand years from now. When many of the things that are successful and trendy today will have been long relegated to musty-looking antiques, his stuff will still be great.
religious envy hustle
I do occasionally envy the person who is religious naturally, without being brainwashed into it or suckered into it by all the organized hustles.
religious book teaching
Culturally speaking, I was raised in a Jewish household. In addition to the religious side of it, I was taught respect for books and learning and the higher professions like medicine and law and teaching.
religious years government
Last year I had difficulty with my income tax. I tried to take my analyst off as a business deduction. The Government said it was entertainment. We compromised finally and made it a religious contribution.
religious children stupid
I was raised in a religious home. It was unreasonable enforced religion that turned me off it. It was a joyless, unpleasant, stupid, barbaric thing when I was a child and I've never gotten over that feeling. If you're talking about religion it's one thing; I don't hold Jewish religion with any more seriousness than I would any other.
girl religious witty
I did not marry the first girl that I fell in love with, because there was a tremendous religious conflict, at the time. She was an atheist, and I was an agnostic.
god religious humorous
If God is everywhere, I had concluded, then He is in food. Therefore, the more I ate the godlier I would become. Impelled by this new religious fervor, I glutted myself like a fanatic.
meaningful sports religious
Everybody knows how awful the world is and each person distorts it in a certain way that enables him to get through. Some people distort it with religious things, others with sports, money, love, art, and they all have their own nonsense about what makes it meaningful, and all but nothing makes it meaningful. These things definitely serve a certain function, but in the end they all fail to give life meaning and everyone goes to his grave in a meaningless way.
arrogance greatness standing
I've often said, the only thing standing between me and greatness is me
knowledge
Is knowledge knowable? If not, how do we know this?
earlier relationship retrospect
Probably in retrospect I should have bowed out of that relationship (with Farrow) much earlier than I did.
everytime hear invading wagner
Everytime I hear Wagner I feel like invading Poland.
bark creation figure god hard poet
As the poet said, "Only God can make a tree" - probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on
boy cheating freshman looked next sitting soul thrown within year
I was thrown out of N.Y.U. my freshman year for cheating on my metaphysics final. You know, I looked within the soul of the boy sitting next to me.
