I have an excellent internal compass.

It is far more important to me to preserve an unblemished conscience than to compass any object however great.

If you choose to take your compass from power, in the end you find only despair. But if you look around the world you can see and touch - the everyday world that is too easily dismissed as everyday - you see largeness, generosity, hope, change for the better. It's always small, but it's real.

Conscience is a man's compass.

I generally follow my own compass and make films about what's scaring me.

You can't know your real mind as long as you deceive yourself.

Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.

If you know you are on the right track, if you have this inner knowledge, then nobody can turn you off... no matter what they say.

Your mind knows only some things. Your inner voice, your instinct, knows everything. If you listen to what you know instinctively, it will always lead you down the right path.
